If you’re in the Bay Area next month then The Dillinger Escape Plan are bringing the Calculating Infinity circus to town(s):
https://www.theregencyballroom.com/events/detail/?event_id=1...
This is enormously off topic but if one person sees this and ends up not missing the show then it was worth mentioning. I think there’s a reasonable crossover between math, discrete math, hacking, and mathcore :)

Took me an embarrassingly long time to realize you're talking about a music event not a math lecture

If you wanted to dive in, here is a Jazz version of one of their singles. The real version is 2 guitars, 1 bass, 1 drums, and someone screaming into the microphone -- its real rad.

>Finally - we can calculate infinity.
And Beyond!

∞/1 + 1/∞
One infinitesimal step for the numerical, one giant step for mathkind.

Fairly trivial, in haskell:
let x = x in x
Completely encapsulates a countable infinity.

Chuck Norris counted from one to infinity. Twice.
Been a long way towards it. \o/
