Topology

Open sets, continuity, compactness, connectedness: geometry without distance.

Lecciones

Introductory Metric spaces and open sets Distance made abstract; open balls, open and closed sets, continuity. distance between (1,2) and (4,6) Core Compactness and connectedness The two properties that make theorems work: extreme values and intermediate values. critical points of x^3 - 3x Advanced Homeomorphism and topological invariants When two spaces are "the same", and what numbers survive stretching. 12 - 30 + 20

What survives when you are allowed to stretch but not tear. Topology makes "nearby" precise without a ruler, and its invariants (connected pieces, holes) are the coarsest and most robust things a space has.

Preguntas que la gente hace

Why "a doughnut is a coffee cup"?

Each can be deformed into the other without cutting or gluing: one hole each. Topology studies exactly the properties such deformations preserve.

What is compactness for?

It is the property that makes "every sequence has a convergent subsequence" and "continuous functions attain their maximum" true. On the real line it means closed and bounded.
