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!

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.
