Thomas+Wolf

a German born physicist, mathematician, computer scientist and professor at the Department of Mathematics, [|Brock University], [|St. Catharines], [|Ontario], Canada. In the 80s, he was affiliated with the [|University of Jena], [|East Germany], during the 90s with Queen Mary, University of London. His research interests include [|computer algebra] for [|ordinary differential equations] (ODEs) and [|partial differential equations] (PDEs), [|general relativity], and further [|mathematics education] and computer Go, in particular the topics of [|Tsumego] [|life and death] problems, and the [|capturing race] (Semeai). Thomas Wolf is author of the Tsumego problem program //RisiKo//, already introduced at the workshop of the 2nd Computer Olympiad 1990 in London, and the Tsumego solving software //GoTools//. Along with Lei Shen, he introduced the program //ScanLD// at the Computer Games Workshop 2007, built on //GoTools//, which checks solutions of life-and-death problems for correctness. || toc =Selected Publications=
