About Jack Crenshaw

Jack W. Crenshaw is the apocryphal "rocket scientist," having joined NASA shortly after it was created. He helped design the trajectories for Project Apollo. He still works in the aerospace industry, having taken side excursions into medical electronics, personal computers, and software engineering. He writes a column for Embedded Systems Programming magazine. He is the author of "Math Toolkit for Real-Time Programming" and is currently writing a sequel. To learn more about him, see www.embedded.com and www.resonance-pub.com.

In other lifetimes Jack has raced autos and motorcycles, spelunked caves, and engaged in other "daredevil" pursuits. More recently, he's content to tinker with electronics and care for orphaned birds and animals.

Jack holds three degrees in physics from Auburn University and is a committed Christian. He is fascinated by the relationship between science and religion, and sees no conflict between the two.

Jack fears neither demon, terrorist, nor nuclear war, but is utterly terrified by Political Correctness and Hillary Clinton.
