Learn to stab paper and stitch it together with the help of math. We will discuss the basics of graph theory and walks on graphs that cover every edge once and then apply our knowledge to planning sewing paths (or designing new patterns!) for Japanese stab binding. The class will be more bookbinding than math, but we hope you enjoy both!

Come learn about shapes without size, algebra without numbers, and complex complexes without complex numbers. Find out why the title is screaming at you like a mildly irritated ghost. Topology is like geometry, if shapes didn’t have size or angles. Topologists use algebraic tools to study what properties stay consistent in the less restricting world of topology. Using loop-de-loops and building blocks, we can find groups, chains of groups, and chains of chains of groups that help us understand these bizarre and mysterious objects. This class will cover advanced abstract mathematics that we definitely don’t expect you to have seen in high school. We recommend this class if you enjoy being confused and thinking about things that have too many dimensions for you to think about.
