From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm a Christian because God said he loves me. I'm also a mathematician and teacher and as of late 2007 a Wikipedian. By training I'm a topologist or geometer. In practice, I suppose I'm an algebraist. So in general, I'm rather confused.

On mathematical writing, I believe...
- mathematics is easy: the only hard part about it is the notation and vocabulary
- writing mathematics is hard: the only easy part about it is obfuscating your meaning
- 99% of mathematics can be understood by everyone
- good mathematics is not good unless it's communicated well
- you should write mathematics for your audience, not yourself
- writing mathematics without including figures is almost always lazy (and I am guilty of this)
