About

What do Siri, Ceres, and series have in common? Not much, except for how they’re pronounced!

In each session, we’ll dive into 1 of these 3 seemingly unrelated topics. By the end of the series, you should know a lot more about:
  • 🍏 Siri — Apple’s virtual assistant that uses voice commands to perform tasks and answer questions on devices like iPhones and iPads. Learn more

  • 🌖 Ceres — the closest dwarf planet to the Sun and Earth, and the only one in the inner solar system. Learn more
  • 🧮 Series — the sum of a sequence of numbers generated according to a specific pattern or rule, whether finite or infinite. Learn more

Do any of these things seem interesting? If so, consider joining this 3-day series to learn so much more about Siri, Ceres, and series!
