My library reflects my interests in mathematical algorithms and almost anything mathematical.

I am a semi-retired mathematical physicist with degrees from MIT and UCLA whose career included teaching at the college level and programming algorithms. I started programming computers in 1965 (on a Bendix G-15 vacuum tube computer with a drum memory!) and have been programming almost daily ever since. My interests are algorithms, number theory, cryptography, and programming languages.

I am writing a book on algorithms in the electronics we use every day (think GPS and MP3 players) and I program almost excusively in Ruby these days.
