I have to confess... I was a maths whiz at school; it was never work... sitting at the back of the class in top set at a good school, finishing work well before the deadline, getting marked down for the size of a drawing in an exam paper “because I couldn’t give you 100%”, and getting an A in my Cambridge University Entrance Mathematics Paper without trying, all unfortunately taught me to view maths as a hobby rather than a potential career choice, hence I ended up in Medicine. Tinkering with rendering 3D wireframes and moving them on a prehistoric early PC was fun when we had time, but the result was that I never learnt anything higher than Calculus, 3D Trigonometry and Applied Maths.
I traded very profitably briefly during the .com boom, in between patients(!) - the joys of GSM modems...
However... now that I have time, after early retirement following a stroke, I have much more time to tinker around with trading and coding.
Any and all errors are mine, and whatever small contributions I am able to make I am enabled to do so only by standing on the shoulders of giants.
Should anyone wish to contact me on the above topics, they may do so at:
Email: andydoc1@gmail.com (but please know I receive hundreds of emails and yours may get lost among the spam)
WhatsApp: + 351910813924 (I do not answer voice calls from unrecognised numbers)
