About

I am a mathematician, lecturer and published author, from Dublin and at the University of Portsmouth since 2010. My research interests are Differential Geometry and Astrodynamics, but more generally differential equations and period orbits; you can see a list of publications here: https://researchportal.port.ac.uk/en/persons/thomas-waters I have lectured on very many topics from Linear Algebra to Knot Theory, to classes large and small. I have published in 2024 "The Four Corners of Mathematics; a brief history, from Pythagoras to Perelman" with Taylor and Francis/CRC Press, see here: https://www.routledge.com/The-Four-Corners-of-Mathematics-A-Brief-History-from-Pythagoras-to-Perelman/Waters/p/book/9781032594989
