The Arithmetiquities: Side Quests

Icon of crossed pencil and paintbrush
Jason's mathematical story, The Arithmetiquities, tells the tale of the Fellowship of the Twilight Tower, a quirky team of heroes on an epic adventure. In this mathematics workshop, participants will explore the Side Quests, a new collection of mathematical stories about the Fellowship and their exploits.

Each week, we will do an in-depth study of a side quest puzzle. Participants will tackle a challenging problem, discuss their strategies and solutions, and explore extensions to the original puzzle.

Workshop Schedule

This workshop meets for eight 60-minute remote (Zoom) ​sessions.

About Mathematics Workshops

Mathematics workshops focus on the joy of exploration and discovery. Sessions will emphasize depth of understanding, rather than breadth of coverage. Though we may encounter a small number of problems each session, our goals will be to explore and understand those problems fully.

No specific mathematical experience is required. Workshop content will generally target middle- and high-school mathematics concepts, though the puzzles and problems we explore can scale up or down to meet a variety of challenge levels.
