Paradoxes and Infinity Seminar

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!

Lessons

Lesson 1 Paradoxes
Lesson 2 Infinity

I've never experienced such an amazing experience when learning math. I get to meet with other mathletes and we can share our thoughts and problems on the message board and get to know each other. But more than that, I learned a lot in this class and not just math. I got to meet and talk with the instructors and some classmates, too. Honestly, I don't know what I would do without AoPS. I hope that AoPS will continue to teach because they've made a big impact on the lives of many future mathematicians, like me. Thank you so much!
