Special Seminar: Paradoxes and Infinity

In this class we'll explore several popular paradoxes and attempt to wrap our brains around the world of infinity. For example, we'll discover a hotel that's never full: somehow, this hotel can always add another guest, or two, or three. We'll also run into paradoxes about goats, haystacks, pop-quizzes and more. If you're interested in mind-bending ideas and theories and have a background in basic algebra, this class is for you!

I found WOOT extremely helpful during my first year of taking AMCs and AIME, and my qualification for USAJMO is largely due to WOOT. WOOT is great (and challenging) for students trying to cross the barrier between computational math and olympiad math. The instructors are experienced and able to help students at all levels. I will definitely be taking WOOT next year.
