Tom Brown
I consider myself a teacher of mathematics. I have an MSc at the University of
South Africa and a PhD at the University of Pretoria but people mostly know
South Africa and a PhD at the University of Pretoria but people mostly know
me as Mr Brown. What gives me most meaning and fulfilment in work is to
encourage and inspire gifted young people, who could face similar difficulties
and adversities than I've had. My main academic research interests would be
in stochastic processes and in the mathematical theory of empathy.
My greatest academic ambition is to consolidate the work of Prof Niko Sauer.
A monumental task. For the love of God and the fear of Mathematics!

Very good! Informative too, thanks Luigi! Must say the image of a lantern and the form/shape is brilliant. One gets that right only now and then and even seldom.

You must know how to work out
Posted on Sat, 28 Dec 2019
You must know how to work out the inside (obtuse) angles? It's very easy and quite neat. The same idea works for all regular polygons i.e 60o triangles, the square, pentagon hexagon and so on etc. Was it Archimedes that showed how these regular...

The opening paragraph
Posted on Sat, 21 Dec 2019
The opening paragraph sounds so very familiar like the time I broke a beautiful wooden dining chair in half by accident, or when my buddies and me were playing and I ran the front door from its hinges, or we got drunk and smoked cigarettes and my...
