Determining a value for gravity with an accuracy of 10 parts per billion for the Electronic Kilogram Experiment
By Beatrice Parker
One of the most exciting days of work occurred when I discovered that I could apply programming skills I acquired in my linear algebra class to my project. I needed a program that could graph in three dimensions, was easily manipulated, and used a color gradient to show height differences. MatLab, a matrix-based programming environment, fit that description perfectly.
