To Infinity and Beyond – A Mathematical Adventure
Feb. 16, 2011—Last week was one of the unfortunate midterm weeks during which every professor, out of a desire to “not schedule your tests during other midterms,” schedules tests for the same days. After this hellish experience, which was coupled with a rather physically strenuous weekend, I decided to unwind by attending one of the coolest events...
Groundhog Day

The beauty of graph paper is twofold: it lends some extra order and...
NINE
