About the originator of ZST |
|
| Peter Schorer developed the Zero-Search-Time (ZST) concept during his many
years as technical writer, technical publications manager, and computer
programmer at a number of Silicon Valley companies including Beckman Instruments,
Signetics, and Hewlett-Packard. His publications department at Beckman earned
many prizes at annual professional society competitions. He holds a B.A. in
English from Lehigh University and an M.S. in Computer Science from San Jose
(Calif.) State University, where he did an expository thesis on Dana Scott's
mathematical semantics of programming languages. He lives in Berkeley, CA. He is
the author of How to Create Zero-Search-Time Computer Documentation
(Annabooks), which was a major influence on William Curtis' How to Improve Your Math
Grades (www.occampress.com), which sets forth a method for applying ZST ideas
to the taking of notes in math courses (and to the writing of a new kind of
math textbook) |
