    • @mattbrannock127
      @mattbrannock127 Pƙed 2 lety

      A topology is not a field. In fact, a topology is not any kind algebraic object. A topology is just a set, and for it to form an algebraic object (by that I mean a group, ring, field, vector space, module, etc.), it would need an additional component called a binary operation. This additional structure is what makes an object “algebraic”, and a topology lacks this additional structure

      @andrzejkarolak3766 Pƙed 3 lety

      Equivalence between those things is understood as a continous invertible mapping between them. Topology gives us the notion of continuity alternative to metric definition. Intuitively we say that map is continuous when it maps points that are close to each other to points that are close to each other. If we have a metric we usually define this by Δ,Ύ bounds on distances between points and in topology we define beign close to each other by belonging to the same open set (element of topology). More strictly a map between topological spaces is continuous if inverse image of open set is open.

    • @andrzejkarolak3766
      @andrzejkarolak3766 Pƙed 3 lety

      At first glance this definition should be put in different direction, but take for example a function from real numbers to real numbers that is equal to 0 for x less than 0 and 1 for x bigger or equal to 0. In most common topology on R, open intervals are open sets, so interval (1/2, 3/2) is open. The inverse image of this interval through our function is set of x bigger or equal to 0. It is not an open set and that says that this function is not continuous.

I want a healthy young generation to grow up, not tortured by mathematics. And let the future Lobachevskys, PoincarĂ© be trained by mathematics clubs, as the future Alyokhins, JosĂ© RaĂșl Capablanca - chess clubs. Why play stupid shows when some pretend to teach mathematics, , strength of materials, theoretical electrical engineering.............. and others pretend to study these subjects.

      @andrzejkarolak3766 Pƙed 3 lety +1

      This video was not about motivation, but more about definition of topology. Often intuitive notions like limit of a function get very complicated when put in abstract language. Imagine solid ball in three dimensional space. You can think of so called open ball, which are those points of the ball that are not on its surface. If the centerpoint of this ball is called O and it has a radius of 1, then open ball would be defined as those points X in three dimensional space that are at distance less than 1 from point O (||X-O||

    • @andrzejkarolak3766
      @andrzejkarolak3766 Pƙed 3 lety +1

      So you can probably think of open set as a set of points that are close to each other in some sense without using notion of distance. If we have a topology on set X we can show that a set U is open if for every point x inside U there is an open set V such that x belongs to V and V is contained in U. This says that points that are close to x (points from V) are also close to points that are close to x (points in U).

    • @andrzejkarolak3766
      @andrzejkarolak3766 Pƙed 3 lety +1

      If we get used to this meaning of open set we can proceed with the notion of continuous mappings. The most popular example is a torus and a surface of a mug. You imagine them as made of strechy rubber. You can change the shape of this rubber making torus into the surface of a mug or vice versa. We intuitively can think that such mapping is continuous if it does not tear the surface during transformation. So it must send points that are close to each other to points that are close to each other. When we have a metric we define being close as some bound on distance between points (usually we assign letters Δ,Ύ for those bounds). In topology we use open sets. Strict definition is a bit misleading at first glance, so you need to work it out with examples. We say that a mapping between topological spaces is continuous when inverse image of open set is an open set. It looks like it should go in opposite direction, but it doesn't. If the inverse image of open set (so of points that ore close to each other) is not open, then there can be a point that is close to points in inverse image, but its image would be outside the initial open set (so it would be far apart). Therefor we would have some points close to each other sent to points that are far from each other making the mapping discontinuous.

    Me : "Cool."
    Him: "Ok, but people are still going to ask you about it's practical uses; any thoughts on how you'll address them?"
    Me: "Oh, I'm just gonna smack them in the mouth. .....like, hard af!!!"
    Him: "what if a girl asks you?"
    Me: "I'll be smooth; I'll use my Topology book to roll a blunt or cut some rails for her and I to snort Molly off of it and then I'll say 'how's that for practical use?'"
    Him: "That's actually pretty cool. I bet no one's ever used that particular textbook b4 for that."
    Me: "Well there was that time when I sniffed 'H' off of Smith, Eggen, St. Andre."
    Him: "Refresh my memory?"
    Me: "The book you gave me, "A Transition to Advanced Mathematics," which I read ALL the time... it's by Smith, Eggen, St.Andre!!!!"
    Him: "Oh, that's right! Wow... You're so rare."
    Me: "Yes indeed. An Eagle's got nothing on me. In fact, if I ever see an Eagle I will use it's eggs to make breakfast. I'll call it 'The Eagle Omelette.' cuz I don't **** around."
    Him: "I could go for some Bob Evans all of a sudden."
    Btw, to whom it may,
    I'm in Calculus III now at Wayne, after that is "Linear Algebra" & "ODE/PDE," and there's no more Math classes higher than that; I'll have to tranfer to UofM or some other University, (even though I learned Gaussian, Row Reduction, back subbing, Cramer's Rule, Transpose, Cofactor, Adjoint, Inverse, Determinants of 2x2 & 3x3, Eigenvalues, Eigenvectors, LU Decomposition, and basic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, powers, on my own. I'll have to repeat it.... even though Calculus III so far has been ALL vectors and dot product, cross product, which I know!!!! Grrrr.... I just hate this notation: ⟹ a, b, c ⟩ = ai + bj +ck notation!! WTF??? Just stack them vertically, and draw a square or rectangle around them!! Geez, f***ing ***holes do it all the hard way!
