Origami Project

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJRBiIeFe7Q


There is a legend that says: Any person who folds a thousand paper cranes will be granted a wish!
So we will make a thousand origami-s as a group.
Our collected wish is: “This is our cry. This is our prayer. Peace in the world.”
You are to make 6 origami cranes or swans or stars-
On one side you will write your wish (only one personal wish) on the other side you can have a print or a design.

Comparing Intinities

While learning about limits of functions as the domain approaches infinity, we discussed comparing the size of comparable infinities. I recall we had some rich conversations about this topic.

Here is a curious thought: Is infinity even or odd?

Strogatz Checks into the Hilbert Hotel for His Last NYT Column

Steven Strogatz ends his series with The New York Times in the same place he started: a hotel. Only instead of learning about the power of numbers, Strogatz's latest column focuses on set theory by visiting the Hilbert Hotel.

From Fish to Infinity / NY Times

Steven Strogatz is a professor of applied mathematics at Cornell University.
He is the author, most recently, of “The Calculus of Friendship,” the story of his 30-year correspondence with his high school calculus teacher. In this series, which appears every Monday, he takes readers from the basics of math to the baffling.
