Infinity Mathematics Workshop

In this workshop, we will have a deeper look into counting to infinity and try to figure out if all infinities are equal or one thing can be more infinite than another one. We will explore the mathematics of infinity through discussion and solving problems. This event will be presented by University of Sydney mathematician,…

Twist and Turn: The arithmetic of ropes

In this activity, we take a mathematical spin on tangling and untangling. We will consider a situation where we have two ropes and apply two possible operations: a twist and a turn. In this simple setup, we can create deceivingly complex tangles, but can we untangle them using the same two operations? We will answer…
