NAE Grand Challenges

The National Academy of Engineers (NAE) through their Grand Challenges have identified very crucial goals that must be fulfilled. Out of the 14 goals, I feel that providing access to clean water is extremely important because in we are facing a major water crisis. The article below from Peace Corps sheds light about the clean water crisis.

MATLAB Demonstrations

The help function in MATLAB provides an abundance of access for understanding the various types of script. There are several ones, but my favorite is the 3D Plots. I like it because it is highly detailed. We are able to see every dimension of the plot. I fee like 3-D plots would be really helpful for many data plots because many time we have to draw an imaginary 3D plot, especially like the orbitals in chemistry. By using this demonstration, we can easily visualize.
