About Me
I am a first year student at Duke University. My name is Mischa-von-Derek Aikman and I am interested in pursuing a Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the School of Engineering.
Name Pronunciation
Although my first name is actually Mischa-von-Derek, I usually go by Mischa. This is pronounced as "Me-sha." My last name is Aikman; this is pronounced as "Ache-man."
Favorite MatLab Demo
I believe that my favorite MatLab demo was that of the 3-D plots. I appreciated that every pictorial example was directly accompanied by its appropriate code. This made it easier to associate the code with what the result will actually turn out to be.
