James Anderson’s Summary

I invented transreal arithmetic as a way of extending ordinary arithmetic so that it does not suffer from division by zero exceptions. I am designing a computer chip which exploits this arithmetic to deliver very high performance on repetitive, numerical calculations.

I am interested in the teaching of transreal arithmetic at all levels of mathematical education.

I am examining the question of whether transreal arithmetic is useful in Physics.

James Anderson’s Interests:

Social justice and real ale. I get involved - voluntary teaching of mathematics to adults, trade union work, pensions trusteeship, pestering Government on all manner of things. In the day job, I invent useful stuff. In the evenings, I sometimes indulge my taste for real ale. Old Luxters Gold Ale is the best beer in the world. Definitely!
