00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.111
A mathematician is an adventurer,

2
00:00:08.110 --> 00:00:11.881
an explorer in an imaginary world full of secrets,

3
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.960
equipped only with an inquisitive mind

4
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:17.800
and a twinkle in his eye.

5
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:20.210
Hello, I’m Dr. Yossi Elran

6
00:00:20.210 --> 00:00:24.260
and in this course we’re going to study some amazing objects -

7
00:00:24.260 --> 00:00:25.120
Flexagons!

8
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:29.140
Flexagons are twisted strips of paper, assembled in such a way,

9
00:00:29.140 --> 00:00:30.510
that they have more than two sides,

10
00:00:30.510 --> 00:00:32.870
creating the most unusual properties!

11
00:00:32.870 --> 00:00:35.600
Throughout the course, we’re going to make and explore

12
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.140
some of these fascinating, paper constructions,

13
00:00:38.140 --> 00:00:39.570
and by the end of the course,

14
00:00:39.570 --> 00:00:41.850
you’ll be able to create your own flexagons

15
00:00:41.850 --> 00:00:44.470
and understand some of the fun math behind them.

16
00:00:44.470 --> 00:00:46.180
We’re in for a real treat!
