My name is Michael. I was born in 1967 in Yorkshire, but I’ve spent nearly all my life in Germany. I’ve moved around quite a bit, and now I live in a small town in Baden-Württemberg (southern Germany), close to the border to Bavaria.

I’ve always been fascinated by mathematics, and I hold an MSc (a German “Diplom”) in that subject, together with informatics/computer science.

Next to mathematics and science, I also enjoy languages (natural ones and computer languages, that I learn just for fun), and writing, especially limericks for the OEDILF.
