Mick Pont, Principal Technical Consultant

Mick Pont is a Principal Technical Consultant at NAG, and leader of one of NAG's Library development groups. Mick has been at NAG for over 20 years, initially working on software to test correctness of computer floating-point arithmetic, and later moving into development and porting of other NAG libraries and graphics packages. Of his time at NAG, most has been in the office in Oxford, but Mick has also served several years at NAG's North American location near Chicago.

Mick has a Master's degree in Numerical Analysis from the University of Dundee, Scotland. He enjoys looking at topics associated with machine arithmetic, and interfacing various packages or environments (such as Java, Visual Basic, Delphi) to NAG libraries, and just generally likes "making things work". Mick also spends a lot of his time on various software development consulting projects for NAG.

Mick occasionally publishes articles related to NAG software; items include two recent articles for Dr. Dobb's Journal.
