About

I am the son of a retired civil engineering professor, and the brother of a mathematics professor.

More to the point, I have undertaken two graduate programs, completing the Masters' program, and dropping out of a PhD program.

I've also enrolled as a (summer) "special" student at four different colleges

I am the author of this book.
