Scott Lindhurst's Résumé
Objective
Apply my computer and mathematical experience to real-world
problems.
Education
- Ph.D. in Mathematics,
University of Wisconsin,
Madison, August 1997.
- M.S. in Computer
Science, University of
Wisconsin, Madison, May 1995.
- M.A. in Mathematics,
University of Wisconsin,
Madison, December 1994.
- A.B. in
Mathematics,
Princeton University, June
1990.
Work Experience
Computer Experience
- Extensive programming experience in C and Pascal.
- 13 years using UNIX. Shell scripting and C/C++ development,
mainly on Sun Solaris.
- Self-taught C++, Java, and JavaScript.
- Wrote Sokoban, a game for the
Macintosh which has been chosen for many software collections,
including the June 1996 Software of the Month Club and All the
Best MacGames '98 and 2000. The Pascal source code is
approximately 7000 lines.
- Have written programs (in C and Pascal) to solve some
computationally-intensive number theory problems: finding least
primitive roots of prime numbers to 1 trillion and finding new
ways to write numbers as sums of three cubes. Total computing time
was about 1 CPU year, running on 20-40 computers simultaneously.
- Know HTML and produce my own web pages.
Other Skills
- Excellent command of written and spoken English
- Fast, independent learner
- Can teach and learn from people in different disciplines
- Able to plan and complete long projects with minimal
supervision

roots in finite fields," in Proceedings of the Canadian Number Theory
Association, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
