My name is Kat Krieger and I am from Westport, Connecticut. I play club lacrosse at Duke, and am planning on being an ECE major in Pratt. I also want to study economics. The Phonetic spelling of my name is Kat KrEEger. After watching several more demos than just those listed on the Homework 2 list, I think that my favorite is the traveling salesman application. I found the ones with an appealing visual component to be more interesting than the others for obvious reasons. The traveling salesman really appealed to me for several reasons. I really enjoy traveling myself and thought that this was very clever for someone who wanted to go on a long road trip. (Perhaps could be useful for seniors in high school making the national college tour). Also I think that the way it stops as its weighing out the options of what lines to move allows you to look at the problem as its being solved and see into the computers thinking process.
