I do talks which people enjoy

Here’s a list of upcoming ones.

Praise for my talks include ‘Brilliant’, ‘a master … Jonathan is a speaker with great body language, gestures and facial expressions that keep you gripped to his well-chosen slides and adds humour, local interest…and passion’, and ‘Can I go home now Dad’.

 

I'm Jonathan Swinton

I did a maths PhD long ago, and I’ve spent many years trying to put some mathematics into biology. I came to Manchester in 2002, and I'm proud of my adopted city. I've been writing and talking about Alan Turing for years – I even did stand-up comedy once – but this is my first full length book. It is mathematically true that I am better at writing than I am at stand-up. If you like to weigh authors on a gravitas scale here is my professional career history, and here’s a good few biomathematical publications.

Manchester is proud of Alan Turing but does it deserve to be? My Alan Turing’s Manchester explored not just Turing’s mathematics but also his home town. It achieved the heights of the British intellectual establishment when it featured on the reading list for the BBC Radio 4 programme In Our Time.

I wrote a book

 
St Peter's Square, 1961. Still from Technological Education in Britain, a film produced by UMIST and probably copyright by the University of Manchester. A copy of the film is held by the North West Film Archive and it can be viewed online at BFI.
