This is the seventh installment in the Fun in FUNdamental Mathematics franchise and, once again, is meant as a hop-on-hop-off opportunity requiring no prerequisites but also offering brand new material for veterans of earlier installments. The goal of our collaborative study is to explore interesting applications of mathematics using creative visuals and active engagement. With an eye to the historical backstory of key concepts, this spring we explore tantalizing topics in geometry.

This offering meets for a total of 13 session(s).
