| Introduction | Elaine Walker is an electronic musician with a deep interest in mathematics and the future of humanity. She is a microtonal music composer with a long and varied career in electronic music, both in academia and freelance. She was the Director of the DJ and Electronic Music Programs at SCC in Scottsdale, AZ, until 2017. And prior to working at SCC, she was a music editor for the Pokemon cartoon for several years. Elaine is the author of a non-fiction physics/philosophy book, Matter Over Mind: Cosmos, Chaos, and Curiosity. At the age of 50, and with no formal math training, Elaine realized she had a gift for visualizing mathematics, and her first math paper was accepted less than 2 years later in the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society (on arXiv.org) with her partner Bruce Olberding. Elaine has regularly volunteered for the NewSpace community, promoting the idea of humans living in space. She spent five summers in the High Arctic on the NASA Haughton-Mars Project. She is a proponent of longevity and a member of the cryonics organization, Alcor. |
