Bio
[edit]I've been a computer programmer since 1971, lately in C, C and Perl. I came from the theoretical side of things: I'm a published mathematician, have a BS and an MSCS from Yale, and was a Lecturer in the Yale Medical School. For the past few years, my interest has been in parsing, and I am the inventor of the Earley-derived Marpa parser.
There's more about me, my interest and my projects at my personal web site.
The God Proof
[edit]In 2007 I published my first novel, The God Proof. It centers on a little known part of Kurt Gödel's work -- his effort to prove God's existence. (Yes, that's for real. See Gödel's Collected Works, Vol 3. pp. 403-404.) Gödel worked out his proof in two notebooks, notebooks which were missing from his effects when they were cataloged after this death. In fact, these notebooks were the only things unaccounted for. The God Proof begins with Gödel's lost notebooks reappearing in a coastal town in modern California.
The God Proof is available as a free download [1]. Print copies can be purchased at Amazon.com [2].
My Sandbox (nothing useful here)
