About Me

Hey, I'm Jerry. I'm a freshman coming from the small town of Vienna, West Virginia. In high school, I was in cross country, tennis, quiz bowl, and debate. Here at Duke, I'm staying in Gilbert-Addoms. I would add more about myself, but I'm not too sure what is expected to be on the average user page.

Favorite MATLAB Demonstration

I found one of the most fascinating MATLAB Demonstrations to be that of the mapping of the surface of the penny. I found it incredibly fascinating that something physically tangible, like the surface of a penny, can be virtually replicated using essentially only numbers. Especially with an object as small as a penny, it's exciting to think what other minuscule objects can be viewed in the same fashion.
