Keith Devlin, Ph.D.

Keith is the "Math Guy" on NPR’s Weekend Edition and a frequent contributor to other radio programs in the USA and Britain. Currently Executive Director of Stanford University’s Center for the Study of Language and Information and a Consulting Professor of Mathematics at Stanford, Keith is co-founder and Executive Director of Stanford’s Media X research network. Keith's new book is The Math Instinct, an accessible, entertaining look at the instinctive math used by dogs, cats, birds, bees and, yes, even humans. Filled with wonderful stories and examples, it explains and celebrates the innate math sense of all kinds of animals and gives even the most number-phobic readers greater confidence in their own mathematical abilities. Keith was featured talking about his new book on NPR's Talk of the Nation and Tech Nation.

The author of twenty-four books, one interactive book on CD-ROM and over seventy published research articles, he is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a World Economic Forum Fellow. He has a B.Sc. degree in Mathematics from King's College London (1968) and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Bristol (1971). In his spare time, Keith also writes a monthly column for the Mathematical Association of America's web journal and writes articles for Discover magazine and The Guardian newspaper in his native Britain. His previous books include:
- The Millennium Problems: The Seven Greatest Unsolved Mathematical Puzzles of Our Time (Basic Books)
- The Math Gene: How Mathematical Thinking Evolved and Why Numbers Are Like Gossip (Basic Books)
- InfoSense: Turning Information Into Knowledge (W. H. Freeman)
