The Webinar on Infinity, Fractals and Turtles took place on Friday, July 2nd, 2021 from 5 pm until 6 pm, with Marco Antonio Figueroa, member of the Matemorfosis outreach group of the Math Research Center (CIMAT) in Guanajuato, Mexico, and member of the organizing committee of the Mexican Math Olympics, as our invited speaker. This virtual event was free and open to the general public.
The invited speaker started the virtual event by explaining what infinity is. Marco Antonio Figueroa then described what fractals are and mentioned several examples of fractals, like the Sierpinski fractals. The speaker also presented a paradox with infinity, Hilbert’s infinite hotel and Zeno’s paradox on the race between Achilles and the tortoise. This virtual event was co-organized with the Mexican Mathematical Society (SMM).
