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!

The Amazon rainforests

The Amazon rainforests' wildlife you may stand a chance Luigi but you can forget about it's tribes. The western way of life the greed and yearning for comfort and ease is taking over everywhere. It seems unstoppable. As for the planting of trees...

Beautiful except the ending

Beautiful except the ending? Was it really meant so? An anticlamax. It is terrible.

Beautiful Richard!

Beautiful Richard! I also treasure my childhood memories. Grown-ups don't apprecate how much you learn and the happiness you feel in new experiences and even in everyday life.
Keep well! Tom Brown
