Saari has proven that the pen is mightier than the sword: He is using the proceeds of his book sales to form a non-profit organization designed to help those with verbal disabilities get the help and the therapy that they need.
Saari doesn't claim to be a saint and admits to wrestling with his own demons, spending his teen years feeling like a time bomb, ready to explode.
Saari contacted a number of organizations and was ultimately contacted by Lisa Geng of the Cherab Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to improving the education and communication skills of children with verbal disabilities.

Saari earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Michigan Technical University in 1962, followed by a master’s degree in 1964 and a Ph.D. in 1967, both in mathematics from Purdue University.
Saari's research interests center on dynamical systems and their applications to mathematical physics (primarily the Newtonian N-body problem) as well as to mathematical issues in the social sciences coming from economics, voting theory and psychology.
In addition to his positions at UCI, Saari is the chief editor of the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society and serves on the editorial boards of several journals on analysis, dynamics, economics and decision analysis.

 Making Sense out of Consensus
When Saari first heard of it, he recalls, "I said it couldn't possibly be true." For fifteen years, he has been trying to understand the mathematical soul of Arrow's theorem, and now he believes he's got it.
Saari's proof of this fact is a tour de force of linear algebra, applied to the vector space of all voter profiles.
Saari called approval voting a "cure worse than the disease," on the grounds that it divorces the results of an election from the voters' preferences.

Saari told reporters he was "99.99 percent sure" that the man he encountered four or five times in 1977 and 1978 was the man viewed as the suspect behind the chain of serial bombings that has killed three people and injured 23 others over 18 years.
Saari said he found the paper "somewhat amateurish" and sent the visitor to engineering professors at both Northwestern and the Chicago campus of the University of Illinois.
Saari was rebuffed by the FBI 16 years later when he responded to its plea for public assistance in the Unabom case and tried to relate his story of the encounter even though he could not remember the visitor's name.

The answer, say voting theorists Donald Saari of the University of California at Irvine and Steven Brams of New York University, is a resounding yes.
Saari laments the "indeterminacy" of the approval vote, the fact that the outcome is not fixed only by the voters' preferences but also depends on their voting strategies.
Saari, along with Union College mathematician William Zwicker, discovered that there is a "transitivity plane" that slices through the cube.

And according to Saari, an apparent anomaly such as the 1998 election of wrestler Jesse Ventura as governor of Minnesota can be explained more accurately by mathematics than social theory.
Luce recruited Saari to UCI in January 2000 from Northwestern University, where his wide-ranging interests led to contributions in the fields of economics, chaos theory and celestial mechanics (which investigates the motions of planetary systems or systems of stars).
In a half-hour session, Saari recalls, “These fourth-graders cut through the conceptual difficulties to achieve critical understanding” of issues that have confused generations of mathematicians, economists and political scientists.

 Origin of the Saari Surname
Lisa was born 17 May 1838 on the Saari farm in Veteli parish to Anna Lisa Eliasdotter (Finnilä) and Johan Jacobsson Saari.
Anders, Lisa, and their family moved to the Saari farm (Lisa’s birthplace) sometime between July 1867 (the birth of their son Anders Adolf) and August 1869 (the birth of their son Matts, my great-grandfather) After this relocation, Anders is identified as Anders Eriksson of the Saari farm.
For example, if the Saari farm were to have been divided, one part might have been called Yli-Saari (Upper Saari, usually given to the farm which stood on higher ground or upstream) and the other Ala-Saari (Lower Saari).

 Thomas Turiano :: View topic - Lowe and Saari's "Hellmouth Couloir"
Before Hans Saari died in a ski mountaineering accident on May 7, 2001 in the Alps, he mentioned to me that he and Alex Lowe had skied a very steep and exciting couloir on Peak 10,031 (1988 Mount Blackmore quadrangle) in the northern Gallatin Range.
I didn't ask him any details because I was focused on the "Select Peaks." Saari told me only that he had named it "Hellmouth Couloir," so I have always wanted to learn more about their descent.
Erickson remembers that Saari had told him that they had to rappel over a chockstone at the bottom of the couloir.
