- Bio
- My roots are in San Francisco and later Baltimore, where I went to high school and college. I stayed on the move, living for a while in Texas, several years in a small town in Germany, and then several more in Massachusetts, working on a Ph.D. in computer science. I'm now a professor at North Carolina State University, in Raleigh.
My book, Computing for Ordinary Mortals, will appear this fall. www.amazon.com/author/robertstamant
