Simon Burn
Columnist
Mathematician, teacher and zombie fanatic, Simon is an absolutely critical member of the Erudition staff; having been with the project from the very beginning, he works closely with the design team to keep the website running smoothly and to implement new features. Further to this, Simon turns his hand on a monthly basis to writing the "Burn's Night" column for Intuition; his own soapbox for all things video game related and geeky.
When not writing articles, playing computer games or jabbering about the end of the world, Simon can be found teaching the children of Buckinghamshire - hopefully how to factorise polynomials, and not where countries of the world are.
