About this title

Review

"This is a volume of immense importance and distinction. In combination with volume 11, it is a powerful indictment of those who believe Russell's philosophical work was barren between 1927 and 1940.."
-Bertrand Russell Society Newsletter, February 1998
"an extraordinarily ambitious undertaking... Up to now, 12 volumes have been produced, every one a model of diligent scholarship and handsome production.."
-Times Higher Education Supplement, December 13 1996

Chaur G. Wu currently works for Trend Micro Inc. as a senior software engineer. He started software programming before was old enough to qualify for a drivinglicense. The first program he wrote was a bingo game - in assembly code on a 8051 single chip. To capitalize on the program, he ran a small casino in the lab - he developed primitive game boxes that connected his pals and allowed them to place bets.
He's also been involved in much larger projects. For example, he developed a program in C++ to simulate the movement and geographical coverage of GPS satellites. As a research assistant in his graduate study, he implemented a wavelet-based video compression algorithm for a traffic surveillance system sponsored by Boston City Department of Transportation. He also helped solve a blurred image problem using inverse filters and other image processing algorithms for a client who designs fiber optics components in San Jose, CA.
His technical interests include distributed software systems in Java, COM, and .NET, generative programming, software design, and neural networks. Outside of work, his favorite vacation combines a one-night gambling trip to Reno followed by a day of skiing at some resort near Lake Tahoe. You can e-mail Chaur at cha_urwu@hotmail.com.
