The Tower of Hanoi
Jason Behrstock and Eli Grigsby, with the assistance
of Harold Sultan, led a Research Experience
for Undergraduates program in the mathematics department at Columbia.
The five participants in the program were:
- Amy Cen (junior)
- Soeun Park (senior)
- Michael Rand (senior)
- Ian Spafford (junior)
- Andy Zhang (sophmore)
We explored many different aspects of the Tower of Hanoi;
below are the reports about some of our discoveries (links to be added
as final drafts become available):
- General aspects of the Tower of Hanoi problem on 4 pegs
- Variations of the Tower of Hanoi problem on 3 and more pegs
- Symmetries
