This is the next installment in the More Fun in FUNdamental Mathematics course stream and is meant as a hop-on-hop-off opportunity hence no prerequisites except for your curiosity! The goal of our collaborative study is to explore important topics in mathematics using creative visuals and active engagement. With an eye to the historical backstory of key concepts, we encounter beguiling topics such as uncountable infinities, number theory and fractal geometry!
