History of the Computing Group, University of Bath 1983-2001

A Short History of the Computing Group
The Computing Group in the School of Mathematical Sciences was constituted with its final form in 1983 when the numerical analysts joined the Mathematics Group. This document outlines the staff and students since then until the disolution of the Goup in 2001, including some information on where they are now for members who have left. People who were still at the University of Bath at the end are shown in bold so it is easier to identify them.
It is quite probable that there are errors and omissions in this list. If you notice one please send mail to the maintainer.
