Below are various
publications of mine - all quite old and probably too boring for
words. But I did them all.
I have not
included all the training courses that I have authored. Also I wrote a several hundred page manual
for Javelin and developed a text processor to format all the complex layout and
diagrams.
I have written a fantasy novel and writing a second. I write a blog on...stuff. I am writing an online software developers weapon kit that is still growing. You can see them all at Other Stuff
For a programmer
and designer I spend a lot of time writing English.
PhD Thesis
The numerical determination of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of large order sparse matrices
This is concerned with identifying non-zero elements in very large matrices and processing them without storing all the data. This is concerned with data compression and error control. Storing only the 3,000 non-zero elements of a 1,000 by 1,000 tri-diagonal matrix with 1,000,000 elements solves a storage problem but introduces a processing problem. My thesis develops methods that aid this process.
