Biographies

The history of our world has been greatly influenced by its mathematicians.  They have developed the code and strategies and understanding that has allowed trade, agriculture, industry, management, engineering and science to develop.  In this part of my website, I would like to draw your attention to some amazing men and women from all periods who can inspire and intrigue you.  They are presented in no particular order.

Our daughter was tutored by Graeme as she was required to sit a maths exam, and complete a maths course, in order to attend college in the USA. Graeme came highly recommended as a brilliant tutor, and he definitely did not disappoint. As a parent of three adult children, I have accessed several tutors over the years, and none of them have come even close to being as helpful and skilful as Graeme. Our daughter, Michaela, particularly liked how Graeme could relate maths concepts to everyday situations, something that helped her immensely. Graeme has extensive knowledge in various areas of maths, and this knowledge combined with his patient, empathic manner, makes him the outstanding tutor that he is. Graeme went above and beyond what would be expected of a tutor. He was truly dedicated to our daughter’s learning and she could not have achieved her goals without him.
