Ian, "The Real Doctor" *Out of curiosity, what exactly do you have a
doctorate in?

Numerical solution of non-linear diffusion problems.Which is actually
a lot more interesting than it sounds.

I didn't know doctorates were awarded quite that way. I always thought they
were awarded in broad fields like math or physics or computer science.

Did you develop some new numerical techniques for such problems? Was your
work done in a math or computer science department?
