Mathematics is so much more than adding up or subtracting. It is much more than anything else you can think of doing with a set of numbers. Mathematics is the study of pattern and the search for truth.

When I was at school, I thought of Mathematics as nothing more than a means to an end; something with needed to be studied in order to make progress in other disciplines. I now see Mathematics as much more than that. It is a subject which takes you to a place where the world can be viewed from a different perspective.

The areas of Mathematics I have a particular interest and specialist knowledge in are:

• Database Design and Relational Theory
• Logic and Computability and its application to Systems Design
• How Probability can be applied to Marketing Strategy
• Group Theory
• Number Theory
• Statistics & Linear Modelling

Aside from these disciplines, I also enjoy recreational Mathematics and the search for patterns in the world around us.

Within these pages, you'll find a journey through some of the problems which fascinate me. I hope you find the journey as enjoyable as I do. I also hope that, as I share some of what I know, you will be able to get a glimpse into the world which I inhabit most days.
