Hi, my name is Rees Ridout, and I am from Searcy, Arkansas. I am a Biomedical Engineering major at Duke University. My hometown is very small, and while I was there I played tennis and baseball. I love to take things apart, design, and build my own machines for fun. I am extremely excited to be in Duke's engineering department. I have always been a huge fan of the school, but an even bigger fan of the basketball team. Go blue devils! | Hi, my name is Rees Ridout, and I am from Searcy, Arkansas.

Favorite Demonstration
My favorite MATLAB demonstration on the "Getting Started with Matlab" page was definitely the "3-D Surface Plot" demonstration. I really enjoyed viewing math in this new 3-dimensional way, because I am currently only in Math 122L. Difficult as it is, we only work in two dimensions. So, I never tend to really think that math actually can be demonstrated in more than two dimensions. The graphs are also really cool to look at; they are almost like little pieces of art and sculpture. I think I would enjoy seeing what different surface plots look like for different functions.
