From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David MacIver has recently emerged from Part III Mathematics at Cambridge University , UK, having previously done the undergraduate mathematics tripos there as well. This gives him various exciting letters after his name such as BA CANTAB and CASM. He is now employed as a Code Monkey (of Doom!) at a small software engineering firm in North London, where he codes web applications for a living and rails against the idiocy of the Joe Average web dev (thankfully none of whom are employed by his company).

As well as mathematics, he has interests in web development, computer science, philosophy, physics, literature and anything else he can get his hands on. He is an incessant reader, and owns far too many books.

Among other things he is a dual citizen (both British and American), agnostic, mostly vegetarian, mostly teetotal, terminally sarcastic and a complete scatterbrain. He is also stunningly handsome, or so the voices in his head tell him.

Astute observers will notice that he had previously identified himself as entirely vegetarian and teetotal. Clearly this is an indication that he is slipping into sin.

He is involved with the EFNet #math project, and occasionally writes various pieces of explanatory mathematics.
