The Klein bottle and the Möbius band are among the most famous topological objects, yet they still have the power to make us ponder. We will explore their history and uncover some of their hidden aspects, some of which remain little known, even to seasoned mathematicians. If time permits, we will also talk about the extraordinary life and work of the geometer Alicia Boole Stott (1860-1940).

The Association for Women in Mathematics at Arizona State University (AWM at ASU) is a student-run organization dedicated to closing the gender gap in mathematics. We are a group of undergraduate students, graduate students, post-docs, and faculty who have come together to create and foster a strong community around women interested in mathematics.
