About Me

I am Vincent Liu. I am from Chengdu, China, and I went to high school in Charlotte for two years. I am currently undecided about my engineering major, but I am enjoying EGR103 and constantly exploring.

Name Pronunciation

My Chinese name is Jie Liu. "Jie" sounds like "Jay", but the tone is upward. "Liu" sounds like "Leo", but with upward tone as well.

My Favorite MATLAB Demo

My favorite MATLAB demonstration is Earth's Topography. It builds up gradually, from 2-D plot of continents' contours to colormap and then to 3-D plot with all the data. The command it uses are pretty cool, such as 'props' and 'light'. With these simple lines of code, an amazing globe suddenly appears.
