Stanley Rabinowitz

I was born on August 22, 1947 in Monticello, New York. I was raised in Far Rockaway, NY and graduated from Far Rockaway High School in 1964. I got my B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn (now known as Polytechnic University). It was there that I learned to be a hacker. I was a founding member of the secret society, the Poly Question Society (P?S). I have published many papers in mathematics. I hold a monthly reunion dinner to stay in touch with my friends from DEC. I play in a weekly Dungeons and Dragon's game run by dungeonmaster Dave Scheifler. I currently live in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. I am no longer living with the love of my life, Erin.

I am a mathematician at heart; but a computer programmer by profession. I worked for:

Digital Equipment Corporation (now HP) (1972-1986)
(OS/8 for PDP-8, VMS run-time library, DECset typesetting system, DECtest)
Alliant Computer Corporation (1986-1989)
(parallel algorithms and run-time library)
Avid Technology, (1989-2006)
(video editing on the Macintosh)
Houghton Mifflin Company (2006-present)
(Math Web Services)

Since 1989, I have been the president of MathPro Press, a company that I founded for the purpose of publishing mathematics problem books.

Interests:

If I have any time after all of the above, I listen to music, watch TV, and play computer games. My favorite color is red.
