CONTINUED FRACTIONS AND CACTUS


BEN LEVITT, DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS, CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, CHICO

This talk will provide an introduction to continued fractions and highlight some of the interesting patterns they reveal. We will learn how to write our own
continued fraction approximations and see how simple arithmetic can be used to investigate unsolved problems in Number Theory. This will all, somehow,
be related to cactus.
