Personal profile

Biography

I graduated MA and DPhil from St Catherine's College, Oxford. My doctorate was in topology, supervised by Graeme Segal.

In forty years at St Andrews I was lucky to be able to teach a wide variety of courses. Notes for some of these courses are available from my personal home page.

Since my retirement I have amused myself with the upkeep and expansion of the MacTutor History of Mathematics archive.

Other expertise

With Edmund Robertson I was one of the two developers of the award winning Mathematical MacTutor software, which pioneered the use of computing in St Andrews mathematical teaching.

 

Also with Edmund Robertson I am one of the maintainers of the MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive on the World Wide Web. This has won many awards for its breadth of cover and innovation.
