About Me
I live in Winchester (some 60 miles South West of London), England. I'm married, with three children. I grew up in West Yorkshire and somehow got interested in mathematics. I particularly remember one lesson in junior school when the teacher hinted that there were (complex) numbers at "right angles" to the numbers I was used to -- what a wonderful way to whet a child's appetite for maths! I fondly remember reading books on algebra and calculus and dragging my parents along to the local library to find out what on earth a logarithm was. As a teenager I spent several summer holidays programming on a DEC System 10 at Leeds University, but was worried that programming seemed dangerously addictive. I did various computing-related courses in the final year of my mathematics degree course at University College, Oxford, and then decided to leave academia and enter the real world as a programmer at the IBM development lab. in Hursley near Winchester. I worked there for 26 years and then joined SpringSource in Southampton - the company behind the Spring framework.
