Special Seminar: Paradoxes and Infinity

In this class we'll explore several popular paradoxes and attempt to wrap our brains around the world of infinity. For example, we'll discover a hotel that's never full: somehow, this hotel can always add another guest, or two, or three. We'll also run into paradoxes about goats, haystacks, pop-quizzes and more. If you're interested in mind-bending ideas and theories and have a background in basic algebra, this class is for you!

Overall, the course was excellent and I learned a lot. The textbook was awesome. The problems given in Alcumus and in the challenge set were fun to work on and helped me to understand the math concepts covered in the class. Each problem given was so unique (and sometimes even hilarious) that it tested my understanding of the concepts in completely different ways each time.
