In addition, he is the Project Editor for the forthcoming C++ Standard on Mathematical Special Functions. About himself, Dr. Brown writes: "Be forewarned: Based on my training and my experience, I hold some rather strong opinions about computer software and programming methodology. While these opinions are not shared by all programmers, they should be! :)"
