David Epstein

David B. A. Epstein (b. 1937^[1]) is a mathematician known for his work in hyperbolic geometry, 3-manifolds, and group theory, amongst other fields. He co-founded (with E.C. Zeeman) the University of Warwick mathematics department and is founding editor of the journal Experimental Mathematics.
