While his tenure at the esteemed Manhattan prep school was
only a brief one, historically speaking, Jeffrey Epstein is not the only
mathematics professor with an “iffy” sexuality by today’s standards?

When it comes to mathematics professors who had dabbled in “paedophilia”,
it seems that only the most scholarly can attest that there are already two of
them – i.e. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, also known as Lewis Carroll and the
disgraced billionaire financier who had recently allegedly committed suicide in
prison named Jeffrey Epstein. But is there any truth to the “alleged
paedophilia” to both math professors?
Even though US President Donald Trump seems to have got off
Scott-free when it comes to his “paedophile adventures” with Jeffrey Epstein,
it was Prince Andrew who got a grilling by public opinion after an ill-advised
interview at the BBC Panorama program. But does the “mathematical profession”
really attract some “perverts”?
Dalton – the esteemed Manhattan prep school where Jeffrey Epstein became a mathematics
professor back in the 1970s has long been known for its rigorous academics,
repeatedly ranking among the United States’ best private schools while drawing
the sons and daughters of New York’s titans of finance, media and art. And students
who are enrolled in Epstein’s class vividly remembered the then mathematics
professor dressing in furs with open chest revealing chest hairs and blingy
gold jewelry. Many say that the only reason Epstein got the job is that a
number of New York’s upper crust acquired millions via Epstein’s financial
advised backed by his mathematical acumen – although Epstein eventually quit
after getting richer off the New York Stock Exchange.
Even though Victorian era mathematician Charles Dodgson –
aka Lewis Carroll – who wrote Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland had an extensive
collection of photos of naked girls aged 8 to 11. Though Charles Dodgson signed
his real name to only his “serious” mathematical works, mathematicians for
decades have been intrigued by the rich skein of symbolic logic that is woven
into fantasies like in Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland and Through The Looking
Glass.
