Richard E. Crandall is an Americancomputer scientist who has made contributions to computational number theory. Computer science (informally: CS or compsci) is, in its most general sense, the study of computation and information processing, both in hardware and in software. ... In mathematics, computational number theory is a study of number theory with the aid of computer powers. ...
With a doctorate from MIT, Crandall has worked at length in both the commercial and the academic realms and has received a number of national awards and distinguished appointments.
He likens the typical computer-course classroom of the 70s and 80s to a hospital "crowded with the wounded, both students and teachers alike," because it used to be tough to teach high-level programming languages.
Crandall and Pomerance also released a companion code set, PrimeKit, which contains the Mathematica support code for all 112 algorithms discussed in the book as well as an implementation of the celebrated AKS primality test.
Crandall applies his time broadly throughout the technology industry and brings the benefits of this involvement to Arbor Partners, although only a portion of his time is spent directly with Arbor Partners’ activity.
Crandall’s continuing role in Arbor Venture Partners III is, as before, that of an advisor, a source of deal flow, a contributor to investment decisions, and a strategist as applied to individual portfolio company’s directions, market positioning and exits.
Crandall is on the Boards of Directors of Diebold (DBD); Novell (NOVL), the Dreman/Claymore Dividend and Income Fund, and several private companies, including ChannelNet (multi-channel ecommerce software), ITRACS (network security software) and Illinois Energy Partners, as well as on the Executive Advisory Board to Beacon IT, Japan's largest enterprise software company.
