Michael Willers was born in 1967 in the city of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Throughout his school years, the one subject that provided light was mathematics (and, later, science). He graduated high school in 1985 and entered an engineering program at the University of Victoria, paying his way by working as a shop assistant and consulting as a computer programmer for various companies. By the time he graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering in 1991, he was sick of it, and promptly entered the university's teacher-training program - partly to overcome a fear of public speaking. Michael finished his training in 1992 and has been teaching high-school mathematics ever since. From 2000 to 2005 he worked on a Masters degree, focusing on mathematical connections to other subjects, such as art and philosophy. It was during this time that he started to look in-depth at the likes of Fibonacci, Pascal and Descartes, among others. A first-time author, he is now facing another of his fears - exposing his writing to the public. See less
