Steve Vickers (born c. 1953) is a British mathematician and computer scientist. In the early 1980s, he wrote ROM firmware and manuals for three home computers, the Sinclair ZX81 and ZX Spectrum and the Jupiter Ace. The latter was produced by Jupiter Cantab, a short-lived company Vickers formed together with Richard Altwasser, after the two had left Sinclair Research. Since the late 1980s, Vickers has been an academic in the field of geometric logic, writing over 30 papers in scholarly journals on mathematical aspects of computer science. His book Topology via Logic has been influential over a range of fields (extending even to theoretical physics, where Christopher Isham of Imperial College London has cited Vickers as an early influence on his work on topoi and quantum gravity). In October

  • Steve Vickers (nacido en 1953) es un matemático e informático británico.​ A comienzos de los años 80 escribió el firmware ROM y los manuales para tres modelos de ordenadores, el Sinclair ZX81, Sinclair ZX Spectrum y Jupiter Ace.​​ Este último fue producido por , una compañía que estuvo muy poco tiempo vigente formada por Vickers y Richard Altwasser, cuando ambos dejaron Sinclair Research en 1982. Años más tarde, a finales de los años 80, Vickers comenzó a desarrollar trabajos como académico en el campo de lógica geométrica, escribiendo más de 30 artículos en revistas especializadas en los aspectos matemáticos de la informática. Su libro Topology via Logic es una referencia para una amplia gama de campos de investigación (incluyendo el de la física teórica, donde Christopher Isham del Imperial College London ha citado a Vickers como una influencia temprana en su trabajo en topos y en gravedad cuántica). Vickers es actualmente Conferenciante Senior en la Universidad de Birmingham. (es)

As announced on his university homepage, he continues to supervise PhD students at the university and focus on his research. (en)
