Dates: 6/16/11 - 6/20/11

Activities: Getting used to using "Bash", Working on the TEMOA project, C/C++ Project

Technical Information: TEMOA (Graphviz/Python), C/C++, Bash

Reflection: As my first week ends and the second week begins, I have gotten used to using the "Bash" environment for work. Sarat, my mentor, said ,"At first Bash seems like a bad interface that isn't very user friendly, but as you use it more, you learn to appreciate it a lot." This is very true, I have started to like using "Bash" because its very efficient and I can do work on it fairly quickly. I even figured out how to find and download games quickly using "Bash" (on my own time of course!).

I have been working on the TEMOA project (programmed in python and graphviz) with Aishwarya and we are making progress (She is also new TEMOA project so were both trying to figure out how it works). We managed to condense a large confusing graph into a much simpler and easier to read graph.

Along with the TEMOA project Sarat gave me a side project to do. I have to create an application that will allow the user to add, subtract, and multiply matrices (he said that I will soon understand why he gave me this project). This application must be programmed in C++, along with another copy programed in C, and I have 1 and 1/2 weeks to finish it.



I will be collaborating with Aishwarya on the TEMOA project for the majority of my internship along with a few side projects that may be given to me. Kevin and Sarat will be continuing to help me along the way. I am enjoying working here and I still have a lot more to learn.
