Chris
Christopher Havens is the founder (and a fellow) of the Prison Mathematics Project, institutionally challenged, and technologically handicapped. Chris enjoys engaging the community outside prison walls where he is establishing his future against the odds. Chris’ research is in combinatorial properties of continued fractions and he’s working to combine this area of research through a growing love for theoretical computer science. He looks forward to someday using a fork and a straw.
