IAP 2001 Activity

The Theory about Nothing: Dividing by Zero with New Kinds of Numbers Robert de Marrais Thu Jan 11, 18, 25, 06-08:00pm, 24-619 No enrollment limit, no advance sign up Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series) The first session will explore why extensions of imaginary numbers can allow divisions of zero. The second will be a picture show of "box-kites." The third session will link singularity theory, software modeling of complex systems, and other wide open areas where little is known yet. No advanced math is required: the tools are simple (can you XOR?), but the implications aren't!
