38 Facts About Charlie Eppes

Charlie Eppes published his first mathematical treatise at the age of 14 and graduated at the age of 16.

Charlie Eppes has provided insights for possibly solving the P vs NP problem and published works on H-infinity control of nonlinear systems and computational fluid dynamics, while his current research is in cognitive emergence theory.

Charlie Eppes has taught courses on calculus, chaos theory, fluid dynamics, game theory and probability at CalSci in addition to giving guest lectures on applied probability.

Also, Charlie Eppes has taken over Fleinhardt's computational physics class when he was asked to do so, and has given a joint lecture on circular motion and the Coriolis effect with Fleinhardt.

Charlie Eppes has wild curly hair, is wary of people, and frequently enthralled with objects and patterns.

Charlie Eppes's father has said Charlie is easily fascinated, possesses a big heart and is thorough, but he misses certain things completely.

Charlie Eppes is extremely talented in chess, as it requires both his father and brother to play against him and a distraction to defeat him.

Charlie Eppes has a vast understanding of theoretical physics, often assisting Larry with his multi-dimensional supergravity theory and papers on gravity waves, and biology, extending to knowledge of ciliate protozoa and the spread of infectious diseases.

Also, Charlie Eppes doesn't think Don understood what he went through during their school years, especially how he was treated as "Don's brainiac little brother" by his peers in high school, and how he often left him to his own resources as a child, though he was not as inept as Don had reasoned.

Now 30 years old, Charlie Eppes wants to be responsible and take care of his father but still believes that much of the pressures involving their dad has been put on his shoulders as Don doesn't seem to have enough time.

Charlie Eppes's research often interferes with his relationships: as with Amita on their first date, for all they could talk about is mathematics; Fleinhardt says that it is a common interest and they should not struggle to avoid the subject.

Charlie Eppes has spent some time with his ex-girlfriend, Susan Berry, an attractive neuroscientist from London.

Charlie Eppes had lived with Susan for two years, and Larry described this as his very own Berry's phase.

Charlie Eppes feels rejected when Amita does not want him to meet her father, due to his expectations about the men she dates.

When Larry announces his leave of absence to board the International Space Station, Charlie Eppes is shocked and upset.

Charlie Eppes is in denial about Larry's ambitions and he thinks reason of the risks involved will assert itself firmly in Larry's mind.

Charlie Eppes says to Amita that he does not know what he would do without him, as he peruses through Larry's precious items that were bestowed upon him.

However, Charlie Eppes agrees with Megan in wanting to help Larry and personally vouches for him.

Charlie Eppes's concern is apparent, and he says he just wants his friend back.

Since then, in "Trust Metric", Charlie Eppes is pleased to see his friend doing well, feeling that he needed a friend, and is glad to have focused on teaching while Don did not include him with FBI work; though, on previous occasions, he expressed the desire to be involved.

Charlie Eppes apparently has some fans and gives into a televised interview.

In "Checkmate", Charlie Eppes is training in weapons and tactics in LA's FBI school, where he is shown to have a high skill in marksmanship at the range, impressing many of his FBI training peers as well as his instructor, which he credits to following Wyatt Earp's preference for careful accuracy instead of rapid firing.

Charlie Eppes is given a certificate of marksmanship by the FBI.

Charlie Eppes later gets his clearance back and is working with his brother and the FBI again.

Charlie Eppes is trying to assert himself in the methodology used to solve a crime, having struggled with not being included, but some friction arises with Amita and Larry.

Charlie Eppes blames himself for Don being stabbed and throws himself into his FBI consultation work as a result.

Around this time, Charlie Eppes is presented with a series of letters from previous successive holders of this prestigious office, wherein each celebrated mathematician writes of accomplishments they intend to achieve, passing down the torch to the next in line to do the same.

At first Charlie Eppes is hesitant, until the very determined Amita convinces him to write the corresponding letter and eases his burdens, as Charlie Eppes fears he cannot meet his destiny with so much weight to succeed being placed on his shoulders his entire life.

Charlie Eppes is so emotionally distraught that he cannot think of the math needed to find Amita.

Charlie Eppes realizes that he did not want to lose Amita, and he proposes to her.

Charlie Eppes even spoke with Dr Tony Chan of UCLA about mathematicians' work while filming the first pilot.

Early reception of Charlie Eppes varied according to the audience in question.

Some even unsuccessfully suggested to Heuton and Falacci that Charlie Eppes should be working with the FBI full-time as an employee.

Melanie McFarland, TV critic for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, stated that Charlie Eppes was not original as of the Pilot.

Since the early days of the series, the character of Charlie Eppes has become more widely accepted.

Charlie Eppes was one of the first geeks on primetime television who paved the way for other shows starring geeks such as Bones, Chuck and The Big Bang Theory.

Charlie Eppes was a runner-up in the category of "Sexiest Brainiac" in TV Guide's poll in 2007.
