It was probably inevitable that, after being gifted with the name Isaac, he discovered he was really good at mathematics and science.
Isaac Newton studied physics at Leicester University and is one of the few people to have an MPhys in Space Science and Engineering. MPhys degrees later changed to MSci after only two years. Yes, he has heard the joke or comment you are just thinking about. After a short stint of postgraduate studies at Birmingham University, he joined Minitab in 1999, where he has been helping the users of Minitab and taking training courses ever since.
Apart from introducing Minitab courses and the basic statistical tools, he has the pleasure of teaching reliability statistics, design of experiments, macro writing, and time series, among other subjects. Recently, he was extensively involved in mentoring others in their own projects and assisting them on getting the most out of their data.
I would like to thank Helen for putting up with me while I devoted my time to write this book. Our lovely daughter, Rosie, deserves a great big mention for arriving halfway through the work in progress. She's a great joy and distraction.
Also, a thank you to my parents for giving me one of the greatest names I could have, even when it was a little challenging at times.
Edward Gordon, Wendell Palmer, and everyone at Packt Publishing have been fantastic at keeping everything on track and helping get this book published.
Thanks to the reviewers for their time, effort, and suggestions.
