About the speaker
With degrees in both mathematics and computer science, Dr. Brown has been a professional programmer for nearly 40 years.
His experience spans both academia and industry: In academia, he founded a Computer Science Department, served as Professor and Department Head, and taught and mentored at all levels. In industry, he managed and mentored programming staff for a computer reseller, and was self-employed as a software consultant and commercial trainer.
Dr. Brown has worked for Fermilab since 1996. He is now part of the Computing Division's Future Programs and Experiments Quadrant, specializing in C++ consulting and programming.

In addition, he is the Project Editor for the forthcoming C++ Standard on Mathematical Special Functions.
About himself, Dr. Brown writes: "Be forewarned: Based on my training and my experience, I hold some rather strong opinions about computer software and programming methodology. While these opinions are not shared by all programmers, they should be! :)"
