Merve Altun

I am an eager-to-learn professional with a strong foundation in analytical thinking, problem-solving, and statistical skills from my mathematics background. I combine these with a passion for technology, aiming to produce innovative solutions in both the software development and data analysis fields. I am highly motivated to transform complex data into meaningful insights and to translate these insights into tangible results through code.

• EcoPanda Office Page (Dev Community Frontend Contest)

Description: As part of a contest organized by Dev Community, a modern and responsive office

page was designed and developed for a company named EcoPanda.

Responsibilities: I was generally responsible for the design and styling of the project. I contributed

to the creation of a user experience-focused website by using my familiarity with fundamental front

end technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

• Euler’s Method (MATLAB)

Methodology:Implemented Euler’s Method to solve a system of two first-order ordinary differential

equations. The project included a comparative analysis of the method’s advantages and disadvan

tages relative to other numerical techniques.

• Gauss-Seidel Method (MATLAB)

Methodology: Developed a MATLAB application to solve systems of linear equations (Ax=b)

using the Gauss-Seidel iterative method. The project report detailed a comparison of this method

with other iterative techniques like the Jacobi method.

• Müller’s Method (MATLAB)

Methodology:Implemented M¨uller’s Method, an iterative numerical technique, to find the roots of

a nonlinear equation (f(x)=0). The project emphasized the method’s efficiency in finding complex

roots and its comparison to the Secant and Newton’s methods.

• Second-Order Adams-Bashforth Method (MATLAB)

Methodology:Applied the second-order Adams-Bashforth multi-step method to solve initial value

problems (IVPs) for ordinary differential equations. The project report discussed the advantages of

this method compared to single-step methods like Runge-Kutta.

• The Variational Iteration Method (MATLAB)

Methodology: Investigated and applied the Variational Iteration Method (He’s iteration method),

a powerful technique for solving linear and nonlinear problems without the need for small parameters.

The project demonstrated the method’s effectiveness on a Volterra integro-differential equation.
