Background Story
I am from Savannah, GA. I enjoy meeting new people and making friends. As a freshman at Duke University I have the best four years ahead of me. I have to make my own opportunities using the great resources that this university has to offer. I am in charge of my future, and I am pumped to mold it.

I really enjoyed the Traveling Salesman demonstration. Last summer I did a project on this same problem and the various ways to solve it; so seeing MATLAB find a solution got me thinking: How does MATLAB solve it? What method does the program use? Is this a genetic algorithm solution? Where can I apply this process? Optimization problems have always challenged programing minds and seeing a demonstration that does this much makes me think how far we have come in the last couple decades. I look forward to where programming will take us next.
