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…
