View from the Pennines is the title of a series of articles I have written
for the IMA journal
Mathematics Today
These articles reflect areas of mathematics which I have found interesting,
but which are NOT part of my research area, so do not expect great depth or detail
(but do expect to be intrigued and interested).
The articles have been scanned to make a webpage consisting of two A4 equivalent
pages each.
