He graduated with a BSc in Mathematics from the University of Southampton and obtained the degrees of MSc(Eng), in Structural Engineering, and PhD, in Numerical Computation, from Imperial College. He worked as a Research Engineer with Hawker Siddeley Aviation prior to joining Hatfield Polytechnic in 1969. During a secondment to Unilever research in 1980 he worked as a Process Engineer considering a variety of models in the food processing industry. His current teaching is in the areas of numerical computation and mathematical modelling, with a specific interest in setting communication skills in a mathematical context. He is committed to developing innovative ways of using the potential of IT in teaching and learning; in particular the harnessing of the potential of computer algebra and spreadsheets in the undergraduate curriculum. He is the author of “The Finite Element Method” and “Introduction to Computational Geometry” (OUP) and “Waves” (Macmillian). His current research interests are in the area of parallel computing for integral formulations of field problems. Away from work, his interests include jogging, cooking, visiting France and playing the saxophone with The Hatfield Concert Band Address for correspondence: Division of Mathematics, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, AL10 9AB Search for other works by this author on: Oxford Academic Google Scholar ALAN CLARK ALAN CLARK Alan Clark graduated in 1995 with a First Class BSc Sandwich Degree in Mathematics from the University of Hertfordshire.
