Glenn Govertsen
Mr G Mirror Workshop
This workshop provides an experience with actual mirrors and the mathematical modeling of how light rays
form images. We will experience some physics, some mathematics, and some GeoGebra. There will be encounters with what is real and what is virtual. Plan to be surprised by some simple demonstrations and most of all expect to have some fun during an intriguing experience.
