About the technology author(s):
David Shields received his BS in Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology and his PhD in Computer Science from New York University. He was on the research staff at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, where he worked on programming languages and compilers, including the LITTLE, SETL, and Ada/Ed projects. He also wrote SPITBOL/6000 and (with Robert Dewar) PC SPITBOL.
