Christopher Havens is the Executive Director and a founder of the Prison Mathematics Project organization. Aside from an interest in understanding the role of mathematics in self-identity and desistance, he spends his time researching mathematics in the realm of number theory. The area he is most passionate about is the study of various types of convergents of continued fractions, specifically naturally leaping and leaping convergents of both linear and quadratic convergents. Christopher one day hopes to show the world that the service of Justice can be a meaningful and beautiful pursuit, and that it should not stop when one leaves the gates of prison.
