Bio:
I'm James Jones. I'm Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Richland Community College in Decatur, IL.
I hate repetitive tasks and will spend 13 hours writing a computer program to automate something that takes 5 minutes to do. This often benefits others in the form of Canvancements, which are my Canvas Enhancments that I freely contribute to the Canvas Community.
