M3151: Proofs About Infinity in Splash! Fall 2013 (Nov. 02 - 03, 2013)
"Some infinities are bigger than other infinities." - John Green There's something funny about working with infinity. How can some infinities be bigger than others? Concepts that are normally easy, like addition, are quite counterintuitive once we start working with infinity. In this class, we will go over some fundamentals about countability, denseness, and finding/proving bijections! We will also cover Cantor's diagonalization arguments, Hilbert's hotel, and briefly talk about the continuum hypothesis.
