It was just after he moved to Madison in 2005 that Jordan Ellenberg signed on as a script consultant with the television show “Numb3rs,” which airs Fridays on CBS.
Ellenberg, 36, who is an energetic and engaging associate professor of mathematics at UW-Madison, likes “Numb3rs” because the hero is an energetic and engaging math professor who helps his cop brother solve crimes.
