Super Quick About me

Hello all!

I'm currently a freshman taking EGR103 with Dr. G. I'm thinking about a double major in Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering. I am originally from California (Bay Area), and live in Epworth right now. The only club I have joined as of right now is the Formula SAE Racing Team.

On a separate note, I have a lot of other homework, and I just remembered this is due, so I will keep this short.

Name Pronunciation

Christopher Sides (prefer Chris)
Chris - pronounced 'kris'
Sides - pronounced 's-eye-ds'

Grand Challenge Article

I looked over the article on preventing Nuclear Terror., National Science Foundation, last updated 20 March 2015, accessed 13 September 2015 (Grand Challenge)
I found this article captivating because the problem is the presence of technology (the ability to create nuclear weapons). Henceforth, this challenge is focused on preventing the construction and use of technology that already exists, mainly though the control of required materials.
One interesting note is that the Grand Challenge summit is actually tomorrow (September 14, 2015) in Beijing, China.

MATLAB Demo

I found the 3d graph demo to be both the most interesting and most useful demo. Simply put, the 3d graphs attracted my attention more than any of the other demo pages. Also, we are currently working on 3d surfaces and planes in Math 212, so the ability to quickly graph equations in a 3d space will prove very useful.
