Senior Sessions:
"Skipping Towards Infinity"
Friday, October 8
2:00 pm to 2:45 pm ET (New York)
Is it possible to add infinitely many things and end up with a single finite number? Sometimes, but the arithmetic of infinity obeys its own strange rules. Achilles and the Tortoise never quite mastered them! Explore this classic paradox and other surprising and other unexpected results that arise when considering the mathematics of infinity. For senior citizens / mature adults.
Materials needed: pencil, paper (at least 3 sheets of 8.5 x 11 paper), calculator (optional)
