For john to play with

Who is John Bibby?

Well, there are several of us.

I am a semi-retired maths educator and statistician based in York, England.

Brought up in London and Hull, for 30 years from 1966 I was an academic hack, interested in multivariate analysis, social/radical statistics, soft political activism, and Ghanaian and African education.

My main employers have been

Accra Academy (Ghana)

London School of Economics

The Open University

and universities in St. Andrews, Edinburgh, York and Sheffield. I have also worked in Cuba, Botswana, India, Germany (DDR) and New Zealand.

In 1995 I took early retirement. Since then my main ‘mission’ has been to promote access and equity to complex ideas. I have worked with QED (a private company that I used to own), Mathemagic (a community organisation that I was involved in establishing, Maths Year 2000 and Count On (the government’s “Maths for All” projects), and more recently with Community Regeneration York (who have taken over MatheMagic).
