Christopher Havens
Co-founder
Christopher
Christopher Havens is the founder (and a fellow) of the Prison Mathematics Project, institutionally challenged, and technologically handicapped. Christopher enjoys engaging the community outside prison walls where he is establishing his future against the odds. Christopher’s 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.
Walker Blackwell
Director/Co-founder
Walker
Walker is 15 years old and born in Texas; he has loved math ever since he started learning it in elementary school. Currently, he is taking Pre-Calculus. Having seen an opportunity to give back to his community through math, he reached out to Christopher Havens (Co-founder of the PMP). He is excited to expand the Prison Mathematics Project and help reduce recidivism.
