Institution:

Moravian University

Subject:

Description:

Human beings have always struggled with the concept of infi nity. Philosophers and mathematicians have gone mad contemplating its nature and complexity-and yet it is a concept now routinely used by school children. We will trace the history of this mind-boggling concept from Archimedes to Cantor through the eyes of the mathematician. Does not count towards the mathematics major or minor. Schultheis
