Hello!

My name is Benjamin Andrew Stone. I was born in Huntsville, Alabama, and I moved to Farmville, North Carolina when I was five years old. I graduated from the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics in 2010, and I am currently a freshman at Duke University studying Mechanical Engineering.

Here is a link to a website about improving solar energy:

[How to Improve Solar Panel Efficiency], John Greenspan, submityourarticle.com, created 14 January 2010, accessed 23 September 2010 (Making solar energy economical)

Phonetic Pronunciation: My name is pronounced exactly the way you would expect, although I do go by "Ben."

• not to be confused with "Ben Stan" who is also in my lab section

The traveling salesman demo was my favorite, because junior year I took a graph theory class, and we did several similar problems, but it took a long time to compute, and we never had as many as thirty cities. Matlab essentially found the quickest route in a matter of seconds, and that is impressive to me.
