Achilles, Turtle, and the Geometric Series

Achilles_Podcast

This is a short video that discusses the paradox of Zeno. It turns out that this paradox is not a paradox but rather an easy way to show that a geometric series converges (if |q| < 1) and to find a formula for the sum. Suitable for high schools.
