From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the American indie rock musician, see Bradford Cox.
Brad Cox is a computer scientist and Ph.D. of mathematical biology known mostly for his work in software engineering (specifically software reuse), software componentry, and the Objective-C programming language.
He received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Organic Chemistry and Mathematics from Furman University,[1] and his Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematical Biology at the University of Chicago.[2] Among his first known software projects, he wrote a PDP-8 program for simulating clusters of neurons.[3] He worked at the National Institutes of Health and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute before moving into the software profession.[4]
