Autorenporträt

Helmut Bez holds a doctorate in quantum mechanics from Oxford University. He is a visiting fellow in Quantum Computation in the Department of Computer Science at Loughborough University, England. He has authored around 50 refereed papers in international journals and a further 50 papers in refereed conference proceedings. He has 35 years' teaching experience in computer science, latterly as reader in geometric computation, Loughborough University. He has supervised/co-supervised 18 doctoral students. Tony Croft was the founding director of the Mathematics Education Centre at Loughborough University, one of the largest groups of mathematics education researchers in the UK, with an international reputation for the research into and practice of the learning and teaching of mathematics. He is co-author of several university-level textbooks, has co-authored numerous academic papers and edited academic volumes. He jointly won the IMA Gold Medal 2016 for outstanding contribution to the improvement of the teaching of mathematics and is a UK National Teaching Fellow. He is currently emeritus professor of mathematics education at Loughborough University. (https://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/mec/staff/academic-visitors/tony-croft/)
