About Me

I'm Delta Ghoshal. I'm currently a first-year student in Duke's Trinity College of Arts and Sciences. However, I'm trying to transfer to the Pratt School of Engineering in order to study Biomedical Engineering. I'm excited to take EGR 103 this semester.

Favorite MATLAB Demonstration

My favorite demonstration was the Traveling Salesman demo. It is a deceptively simple problem, but its Wikipedia page has lots of big mathy words in it, proving that it's harder than it looks. I liked that MATLAB turned it into an iterative process, each time getting closer to the best and most efficient answer. It was a good demonstration of MATLAB's computing power and its potential problem-solving applications.
