Jason M. Osborne

Here are examples from my wandering years seeking a permanent and fulfilling place in academia. These examples contrast my current mathematical writing style focused on imagery and story through pagination that felt out of place in the more traditional publish-and-perish environments (Though I must not forget that I wrote the Geodesic Spring on the Sphere article for the Notices in a Starbucks while academically homeless)

Some mathematicians are birds, others are frogs.  


Birds fly high in the air and survey broad vistas of mathematics out to the far horizon. They delight in concepts that unify our thinking and bring together diverse problems from different parts of the landscape.


Frogs live in the mud below and see only the flowers that grow nearby. They delight in the details of particular objects, and they solve problems one at a time.
