Algebraic Topology

Fundamental groups, homology: counting holes with algebra.

Lesse

Attach a group to a space so that continuous maps become homomorphisms. Then the question "are these two spaces the same shape?" becomes an algebra computation, which is how we know a doughnut is not a sphere.

Simbools wat hier gebruik word

Maak enige simbool van die volledige definisie,'n prent en wat elke letter daarin beteken.

Vrae wat mense vra

What does the fundamental group measure?

Loops in a space up to deformation. In a plane every loop shrinks to a point (trivial group); around a hole a loop can wind n times (the integers).
