ABOUT ME

I was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on 18 October, 1953. My
birthday, coincidentally, was the same as my grandfather's.

I went through the usual years of school in Vancouver, first at Bayview Primary
School, then at Kitsilano Secondary School, graduating in 1971.

After school, I then studied physics and astronomy at the University of British
Columbia, graduating in 1975. I stayed on for an MSc at UBC, and then moved to
the University of Toronto to do a PhD in physics, which I obtained in 1981.
After a couple of years as a post-doc in Toronto, I moved to Monifieth, a suburb
of Dundee, Scotland in 1984, where I've been ever since.

I was a lecturer in mathematics and then computing at the University of Dundee
from May 1984 until December 2008.

BOOKS

Over the years, I've written a few books, which I list here. I suspect most of
them are out of date and/or out of print by now.

 * Theoretical Models in Biology (1994)
 * Data Structures & Algorithms with C++ (1996)
 * An Introduction to Data Structures & Algorithms with Java (1997)
 * The Essence of Java Programming (1999)
 * Computer Graphics with Java (2001)
 * From Java to C# (2004)

PROGRAMMINGPAGES

I'm in the process of writing a series of tutorials on programming, which you
can view here.

PHYSICSPAGES

I have also returned to my first love, physics, and am trying to relearn a lot
of what I knew back in the 1970s and 1980s. I run the PhysicsPages web site
where I post articles on various aspects of physics.

WEATHER STATION

I have maintained a weather station in Monifieth, Scotland since July 2003.
Current readings and past data archives can be found on the weather station site
