About the Author

My name is Simon Todd and I am the author of the 4tφ books.

In 2008, I was Dux of St. Andrew's College and gained an NZQA Outstanding Scholar Award, with (among other results) an Outstanding Scholarship in Mathematics with Calculus. I completed a Bachelor of Arts with First Class Honours at the University of Canterbury in 2012, studying Mathematics and Linguistics, followed by a PhD in Linguistics at Stanford University. I am now an Assistant Professor of Computational Linguistics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. You can find more about my current work here.

4tφ is the result of two years of hard work as a part of the development of a 2-year Scholarship Calculus preparation programme at St. Andrew's College. Originally intended just as a private teaching resource, it was refined and expanded upon to be made publicly available because of the serious lack of resources for the teaching of Scholarship Calculus. I do hope you find it useful and enjoy teaching from it as much as I enjoyed learning, compiling and teaching the material in the first place.
