About Me

Hello! My name is Elizabeth Griffin. I am from Providence, Rhode Island and currently a freshman in Pratt. So far I'd like to major in environmental engineering and possibly study global health as well. At Duke, I am involved in tech for Duke Players, Environmental Alliance, and DEID. I also really like travelling and pretty much any outdoors activity, especially hiking and paddleboarding.

MATLAB Demonstrations

My favorite MATLAB demonstration is the 3-D Plots demonstration because it explains how to create 3-D shapes using certain commands. MATLAB creates a visual model of 3-D shapes and provides tools to analyze and manipulate these shapes with. Most calculators and programs cannot enable the user to visual such complex 3-D shapes so clearly, which is something that makes MATLAB a particularly valuable tool. It's also really cool to be able to make something that looks so complex and impressive with just a few commands.
