M206: Counting Infinities - Introduction to Infinite Sets and Combinatorics in Splash Spring 14 (Apr. 26, 2014)

What are different types of infinities? How can we compare infinite sets, and how big do these sets get? We will explore these questions in some depth. We will also demystify some apparent paradoxes that arise from infinite sets by teaching Combinatorics and Set Theory to the students. Finally, we will end the class with some ground breaking and beautiful results on cardinal infinities that were discovered by Georg Cantor in the 1800s.
