ID 2050 - Beyond the Finite

3 Credits (Minimum) 3 Credits (Maximum)

Shows how infinity, which plays a key role in mathematics and many other areas of human endeavor, appears in arithmetic, geometry, foundations of analysis and the arts. Just as every intelligent person needs at least some acquaintance with discoveries of Einstein and Freud, one needs exposure to George Cantor’s discovery of the infinite. Strongly recommended for natural science, math and math education majors, but can be expected to benefit everyone. Approved for LAS Natural Science area requirement.
