Arthur Norman [1]
Arthur C. Norman,
a British mathematician, computer scientist, and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge,
where he has previously been a director of studies for computer science [2].
His research interests include functional programming, symbolic computation, computer algebra systems] and programming languages.
In the 80s, while also affiliated with Acornsoft, he was involved in developing the Acornsoft LISP interpreter [3],
and, along with Nick Pelling (Orlando), he contributed to the chess program Acornsoft Chess [4],
both for the BBC Micro. In 1983, along with John P. Fitch, the Fitch-Norman Partnership was established, which became Codemist Ltd in 1988 [5],
developing and trading the Norcroft compiler suite targeting RISC OS.
