Me at a glance This user is a Christian, and that's all that matters. This user is married and spending the rest of their life with someone whom they love "${\displaystyle \infty }$ +1". Dad This user is a father and proud of it! ${\displaystyle e^{i\pi \ ))$ This user is a mathematician. This user teaches at a university or other institution of higher education. This user is a cross country runner. This user is a swimmer. This user is a bicyclist.

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)
