Puzzles, Bands, and Knots

Thursday, February 26

Dr. Mann led us through a set of explorations related to geometry and topology. We cut up Mobius bands in different ways, considered what happened when we put different numbers of half-twists in the bands, and talked about knots and their connection to DNA. Dr. Mann's powerpoint slides are attached below.
