About Me
I am passionate about science, particularly physics and mathematics, I have authored two books on science (published by Routledge).
My particular interest is the interface between A-level pre-university and foundation/first year university for maths and physics students. Sometimes this transition is seen as a chasm rather than a transition.

Topic Expertise
I inhabit the interface between maths and physics. For me there is no dividing line.
My first degree was in physics. I did a masters year at Cambridge where I completed Part III of the Maths Tripos, (Wolfson College and the Department of Applied Maths & Theoretical Physics), which was followed by a PhD at the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge. In my research I helped lay the foundational knowledge of gravitational lenses.
I am a member and former fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge.

wenjing amber - Physics
This was the first (free) class offered by Nigel. Nigel asked a number of questions and to the point that were very useful in judging what to expect from his classes. We had ample opportunity to ask him questions to which we obtained satisfactory answers. All in all we had an excellent feeling from this appointment. [feedback left by Rivan's dad]
