Leslie Blackett Wilson (born 1930[1]) was chair of Computing Science at the University of Stirling, appointed on August, 1979.[2] Previosly, he was a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science at the Computing Laboratory of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. He joined the Computing Laboratory in 1964. Before that, since 1951, he was a Senior Scientific Officer at the Naval Construction Research Establishment at Dunfermline.[2]

He has written four books in computer science and combinatorics. His book Comparative Programming Languages was regarded among the major textbooks on programming languages[3] and has received positive reviews since its first edition.[4] This book was translated into French in its second edition.[5] As a researcher, he is best known for his contributions to extensions of the stable marriage problem.[6][7]

He was the doctoral advisor of Jayme Luiz Szwarcfiter[8] and has an Erdős number of three.[9]

Education

Leslie Blackett Wilson got a B.Sc. in Mathematics from Durham University in 1951 and a D.Sc. degree from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1980.[1]
