Name Pronunciation
My name "Jacob Schwab" is pronounced just as it looks <JAY-kub sh-Waub>. It's not too difficult of a name to say.
MATLAB Demonstration
I really like the "Viewing a Penny" demonstration because it shows just how powerful MATLAB can be. It is cool to see the types of contour graphs you can create in MATLAB, but it is cooler to see how they can be put to use in constructing a 3D penny. MATLAB's way of coloring one point brighter than another is interesting too; it uses the points around the point of interest to determine how light or dark it should be.
