At last, Acme Klein Bottle 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.

7) No, I no longer do the hot glass work - I contract this out to professional glassblowing shops. I do everything else myself - from design to packing to writing the html on this website, with occasional help from my son Danny, my daughter Zoe, and my wife Pat.
8) Yes, you are welcome to visit if you are traveling to Northern California (San Francisco/Oakland/Berkeley) Call first - 510 654 3958 // Alas, but my wife and I won't be able to host visitors until late December 2023 - thanks for your understanding

13) Yes, that's me in the [ video / book / talk / college / bowling alley ]

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![Hi Nina!]) 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
