About the Author
Arthur Griffith is a computer programmer and a writer. He is the author of eleven books and the coauthor of three. His education was many years ago in a land far away, and he has a degree in Computer Science and Mathematics.
During his years as a computer programmer, he developed systems as varied as nuclear power plant construction accounting, missile guidance, remote control of cable-TV set-top boxes, and satellite communications control. All the work he did with computer programming required the use of mathematics and the ability to explain complex concepts in simple language.
He moved to Alaska in an attempt to retire, but failed. He is now developing software for Kachemak Research Development and writing books, like this one.
