The Geometry of Reflections (Grades 8-10)
Saturdays at 1:30
Imagine a room made entirely of mirrors. A light bulb in the room turns on, and yet does not illuminate the entire room. How is this possible?
Thus begins our investigation of the geometry of reflections, a study that brings together such diverse topics as star polygons, billiard problems, conic sections, infinity theory, chaos theory and dynamics, modular arithmetic and number theory. This class will be a fun, problem-based excursion into this fascinating, rarely-seen subject.
In partnership with the Robinson Center. Registration opens Monday, December 5th.
