Jason M. Osborne received a Ph.D in Mathematics from North Carolina State University in 2007. He has been a mathematics educator at several universities and has published a number of peer-reviewed articles for engineering and mathematics journals. He is constantly amazed at how a few scribbles of mathematical symbology on a piece of paper can convey any meaning at all. He is currently filling pages with scribbles and code and turning those pages into e-books.

When being a Mathematician proves too challenging he, tries to think about the variety of ways he can make mathematics more widely accessible. In his first book, a graphic novel, On Maps and Math and Making Friends: A Curvature Story, he artfully explains in nearly 100 full color, animated pages what can and has been written by others in a page or two of black & white, perfectly stationary mathematical formulas. His latest book (not Div but Grad and Curl: and illustrated guide) is a typical unconcise/math production; a 400+ page exploration of length, area, and volume using the mathematical language of โ€œformsโ€ and is organized in a way he feels relevant to teaching in the age of AI.

He has never once been accused of being concise.
