About Me

I am an avid anime fan who writes for the satire site Anime Maru

“The world, after all, was still a place of bottomless horror. It was by no means a place of childlike simplicity where everything could be settled by a simple then-and-there decision.” ― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human

"In the past no one has tried to fly using only human power. The words "Fly" and "Fall" go together. But the more one concentrate on flying, most forget that detail. As a result, you end up flying above the clouds even after death. Without falling down, but as if you fell into the sky."― Touko Aozaki, Kara no Kyoukai Overlooking View

Favorite MATLAB demo

My favorite MATLAB demonstration was the 2D Plots graphics demonstration. The information it taught was quite practical and straightforward, but critical to future uses of MATLAB. Simply knowing how to establish the x-values and y-values of a graph and labeling both axes already makes MATLAB extremely useful. The demonstration also explains specific graph types such as a bar plot of a bell shaped curve or a stairstep plot of a sine wave in greater detail, another critical bit of information that I will likely need to reference in the future. There is no excess of explanation, instead leaving the example code and result for the reader (me) to interpret. Considering how straightforward the code was, this was an optimal method of information demonstration.

It was also nice to see the code for 2d graphs utilize principles that I already learned, such as the start:step:end. In fact, drawing (or more accurately, coding) 2D graphs in MATLAB is so similar to what I'd normally type in a graphing calculator that it doesn't quite feel like a programming language like java or python (although, granted, in many other aspects they are very similar).
