Summary

My name is Seth Goodman, and I'm currently in the EGR103 class with hopes of switching into Pratt and studying either Electrical and Computer Engineering or Mechanical Engineering.

Name Pronunciation

Fortunately, my name is easy to pronounce. It sounds like "Seth GOOD-min," which is essentially how it is spelled.

Personal Life

I come from Davie, Florida, which is about 45 minutes northwest of Miami and about 20 minutes due west of Fort Lauderdale. I enjoy playing sports and playing the guitar, electrically, acoustically, and (more-recently) classically. My favorite sports teams are the Miami Heat, the Miami Dolphins, Arsenal FC, and obviously all of the Duke sports. I also enjoy watching the Georgia Bulldogs football team (my dad's alma mater).

Grand Challenges

Formula 1's Virtual Reality, Joe Saward, GrandPrix, updated 14 January 2009, accessed January 25, 2015 (Enhance Virtual Reality)

Demonstration

The demonstration that I thought was most interesting was the "Viewing a Penny" one. I found it interesting that a penny could be minimized to just contour lines and then recreated with the brightness of the image based on the height of the penny. This combination was intriguing and caught my eye. I also thought Conway's Game of Life demonstration was cool too, with all of the points moving around so quickly.
