Untying knots, stealing gold bricks from closed iron safes and unfolding hypercubes all are part of the fourth dimension.
Although it sounds like a science-fiction concept, the fourth dimension is the topic of the most recent installment of the Lyman Briggs School Lecture Series.
Michael Starbird, a professor of mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin, will discuss the abstract domain at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday in room C-106 of Holmes Hall.
The lecture is free.
