At last, Acme has conquered topological and engineering frontiers to manufacture genuine glass Klein Bottles. These are the finest closed, non-orientable, boundary-free manifolds sold anywhere in our three spatial dimensions.

These elegant bottles make splendid gifts, outstanding classroom displays, and inferior mouse-traps. With its circle of singularities, an Acme Klein Bottle can be said to exist inside of itself -- especially handy during time-reversals.

CORONA VIRUS UPDATE: I've ordered everyone at Acme Klein Bottle to work from home.  Of course, I'm Acme's only employee, and this is my home business.  Which is to say: Yes, I will send out your Klein bottle within 24 hours.  Usually within two hours.  As I pack your Klein bottle, I squirt the glassware with 95% ethyl alcohol, which oughta zap any lurking Covids (as well as my fingerprints). -Cliff

ARE YOU A STUDENT, AGE 12 TO 17? Do you like the kind of math humor that's on this website? Then consider one of the terrific summer math camps! Several that come to mind: the Hampshire Summer Studies in Math (in Amherst, Massachusetts during July & August... learn why the Yellow Pig endorses 17 varieties of Acme Klein bottles -- hcssim.org). Also, the MathILy program at Bryn Mawr (five weeks of maximum mathematical marvelousness) (www.mathily.org). I've also heard great things about Epsilon Camp in Utah (well, one of the Epsilon camp counselors visited, and she really impressed me!) There are dozens more camps-- see a list of these camps at www.ams.org/programs/students/emp-mathcamps ... feel free to ask me for opinions or comments about these various math camps. Also -- Math Circles are springing up around the world ... find out if there's one in your neighborhood: www.mathcircles.org/Wiki_ExistingMathCirclePrograms_view
