Here is a little information about me.
I was born in Bodoe in the north of Norway. Now I live in Bergen at the west coast of Norway.
I am an electronics and computer engineer, who has more than 25 years of work experience with electronics and computers. My interest for electronics started when I was a little boy. My grandfather bought me my first soldering iron when I was five years old. Since then electronics has been one of my favourite hobbies. My interest for computers was triggered in 1981, when my father encouraged me to buy a soldering kit for the Sinclair ZX81 microcomputer. At work I like best of all to design embedded computers for harsh environments. But I also feel "at home" when I'm programming in either Python, C, Pascal or assembly.
My GitHub account is here. It now has a repository called scikit-vectors with Python functions that can create vector classes with 2, 3 or an arbitrary number of dimensions: scikit-vectors. It also has a repository with examples that shows how some vector classes created with these functions can be used: scikit-vectors_examples.
Two other interests of mine are photographing and raytracing. I like to picture details of objects, shapes and patterns that are in the zone between chaos and order. Since I started raytracing many years ago, my interest for 2 and 3 dimensional geometry and numerical methods has resurfaced. My favourite raytracer is POV-Ray. It is a fantastic free and open source program that allows me to visualize shapes and patterns that I cannot "see" in the real world.
Some computer graphics topics that I'm especially interested in are:
-Parametric surfaces (with NURBS)
-Isosurfaces (defined by mathemathical formulas)
-Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG)
At my POV-Ray gallery page you can see pictures that I have made with each of these techniques. POV-Ray has a powerful scripting language that I like to program in. My images often tends to be somewhat "mathematical".
