mfc is Mike Cowlishaw (M. F. Cowlishaw).
I'm a retired IBM Fellow and also a sometime Visiting Professor at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick ({{coord|52|23|01|N|1|33|37|W|display=inline|region:GB}}); for more about me, please see:
[http://speleotrove.com/mfc/ http://speleotrove.com/mfc/]. There's also a WikiPedia article about me, which is reasonably accurate (as of this writing).
I have mostly contributed to existing Wikipedia articles in the general area of computing and computer arithmetic. Articles which I ‘founded’ include Algorism, Battle of El Mazuco, Densely Packed Decimal, El Mazuco, Fabada Asturiana, (much of) IEEE 754 revision and IEEE floating point, Llanes, Meré, Significand, and Wallace Breem.
