The math I do. Mostly (over the last 20 + years) I work on
the N-body problem. I was trained in geometric mechanics.
Work on geometric phases led me to the falling cat problem
which led to subRiemannian geometry, then control theory,
and eventually to the three-body problem , viewed as
an idealized cat. I continue work in these other areas.
