Martin Hansen and Robin Edwards visited us from Shropshire to talk about the various software titles that each of them have developed. Martin led the way, showing a number of ‘visual aids’ which he had assembled to assist with his day-job as a maths teacher – although based on proper equations, he had found that they could also be put to very good effect in creating computer-generated modern art. Robin, who may be better known to many as the man behind Serious Statistical Software, followed with an interesting talk on statistics: demonstrating what his software can do in the process.
