Achilles runs at a constant speed of 10 meters per second, while the turtle walks at 0.1 meters per second. After a certain amount of time, Achilles has run 100 meters, bringing him to the spot where the turtle started. During that time the turtle has walked a bit further. This means Achilles needs some more time to run that extra distance, by which time the turtle will have advanced more. It seems, then, that Achilles will never be able to reach the turtle. In this lecture, we will explore how to add infinite many numbers to find a solution to Zeno's paradox.";

This fact gives rise to all sorts of interesting bijections between the aforementioned combinatorial structures. We will have fun playing with and exploring some of them.';

Our work combines one of the most delightfully visual mathematical subjects--knot theory--with one of the most common sources of fun: games. In this talk, we will learn the basics of knot theory and the rules of various knotty games. There will be opportunities for you to play these games on several types of knot diagrams and think about strategies that can guarantee certain players a win!";
