The trajectory of a billiard ball on a table shaped like a polygon whose angles are rational multiples of pi gives us a nice example of a dynamical system. I will discuss some results on the long-term behavior of generic trajectories, and then talk about some more modern innovations made possible by recent work on the study of translation surfaces.
