I went to University in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
From September 1970 until January 1977,
I went to the
University of Waterloo,
in Ontario, Canada,
graduating with a
Masters of Mathematics (M.Math) after I had
already taken a full-time with DIGITAL in Massachusetts.
This was where I was on a work-study program, which enabled me to travel to lots of other countries and do different kinds of computer-related jobs while I was an undergraduate at the UofW.
The picture for my Waterloo years is simply a collage of images that I found on the University's home page. Even if I could find my own pictures from way back then by digging thru the boxes in the attic, I don't have a scanner (yet) so that will have to do for now. In the top portion of the picture you can see the big square building that is the University's famous library. If you could see it in real life and look very closely, you could see that the top three floors of the building are a slightly different color. That is because when they first designed the building they went right into building it and were half done before the engineers realized that they had forgotten to calculate the weight of the books when they specified what was needed for the foundation. By the time they had re-done the underground work and gotten back to finishing the building, it was too late to come up with an exact-matching color so the story is not as lost in the annals of Waterloo history as some people might like it to be.
Clearly, from the rest of the pictures, I was in the
Mathematics part of the University; we never made the kinds
of infamous mistakes that the engineers did.
