Elf Sternberg

I prefer my math neat (straight up?), in a Riemannian sort of way, with a coaster covered with one of Escher's "limits to infinity" or "circle limits" series... But then again I study complex dynamics for fun (or at least for some definition of fun).

I'm teaching multivariate calculus this term, and we just finished space curves - I can't get my students to understand these helices visually, and there's only so much you can do with Maple.

PS - I like Newcastle Brown Ale - but since I only drink about 6 a year, I think I can afford the miles on it.
