The pronunciation of my name is pretty straight forward. To spice things up a tad I will include the pronunciation of my full given name. My name is Paul Daniel Jose Goodman Marcano (the last word is my mother's maiden name). This is pronounced "P(ALL)  D(ANNE)-yool  ho-SAY  GOOD-m(anne)  mar-KAHN-o", but you can just call me Danny. That's D(ANNE)-eee.

[note: in order to pronounce my last name like my ancestors did before me requires a third syllable in the name. Example: GOOD-may-uhn. Just a product of my southern roots.]

Matlab Demonstrations

My favorite Matlab demonstration from the homework 2 assignment was the Viewing a Penny tutorial. It was very interesting to see Matlab graph such an accurate depiction of the penny from measurements taken of the height of a penny. It shows just how versatile Matlab is and how it can graph outside data sources.
