We knew only that they were different, to be feared, and in that fear was included the hostility of the powerless against the powerful, the poor against the rich, the worker against the employer; and the poorly dressed against the well dressed. This is Stamps, a small town in Arkansas, in the United States, in the 1930s. The population is almost evenly divided between black and white and totally divided by where and how they live. As Maya Angelou says, there is very little contact between the two races. Their houses are in different parts of town and they go to different schools, colleges, stores, and places of entertainment. When they travel, they sit in separate parts of buses and trains. After the American Civil War (1861—65), slavery was ended in the defeated Southern states, and many changes were made by the national government to give black people more rights.

    An interview with IAIN S. DUFF Conducted by Thomas Haigh On 30 & 31st August, 2005 In East Hagbourne and Chilton, United Kingdom Interview conducted by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, as part of grant # DE-FG02-01ER25547 awarded by the US Department of Energy. Transcript and original tapes donated to the Computer History Museum by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics © Computer History Museum Mountain View, California ABSTRACT Iain S. Duff explores the whole of his career to date. Duff grew up in Glasgow, attending The High School before earning a first class degree in Mathematics and Natural Philosophy from the University of Glasgow in 1969. He discusses the mathematical curriculum there, and recounts his early computing experiences as a summer fellow with IBM. Duff won a Carnegie Fellowship for postgraduate work at Oxford, culminating in a D.Phil. conferred in 1972. At Oxford he worked with the numerical analysis group and wrote his thesis on the analysis of sparse systems under the direction of Leslie Fox. While working toward his degree, Duff was already collaborating with Alan Curtis, Michael Powell, and John Reid at the nearby AERE Harwell nuclear power research center. His interest in sparse matrices was cemented by a 1971 visit to IBM’s Yorktown Heights laboratory for a conference, where he first met colleagues such as Alan George, Ralph Willoughby and Fred Gustavson. In 1972, Duff went to the United States on a Harkness postdoctoral fellowship, spending time at SUNY Stony Brook with Reggie Tewarson and Stanford, where he got to know Gene Golub.
