Mathematical Paradoxes

~60 min · 15 stations

Mathematical Paradoxes is a self-paced learning path in Mathematics & Logic, free to read, written at General Public / 9th Grade reading level. Across 15 structured stations, you will work through the core ideas step by step, each with a short quiz to check your understanding. By the end you will be able to identify core features of logical paradoxes; trace historical roots of mathematical inquiry; evaluate truth values in formal systems.
