JakeVortex

In different contexts I am known by different names:

• Jeff Kidder has a Ph.D. in Mathematics and works on Floating Point Arithmetic validation in CPUs. My background is in dynamical systems, real analysis, knot theory, and complex systems (such as neural networks, genetic algorithms, chaos and the like).
• Jake Vortex is my on-line guise.
• Jason the Voracious is my SCA persona. Born in 1466, living in Tuscany 500 years ago.
