Sociological approaches to ecological uncertainty

Links between formalism in mathematics and linguistics - personal
ability
My main strength in this area is in computer programming. Computer languages
(to the extent to which they can be converted into Turing Machines) are good
examples of formal languages. I have been programming computers since 1980
and have experience of using the following languages: Basic (various
versions), 6502 assembly language, Z80 machine code, Fortran, C++.
My mathematical abilities are centred around differential geometry and
non-linear systems. Although I have not studied the notation of axiomatic
set theory, I have a good ability to pick up new forms of notation when
moving between mathematial disciplines.
