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.

Be able to sort searches and What links here in some meaningful way(s)
