Hi there.
I'm taking a course in analysis and I was thinking about the relation between compact sets and homeomorphism. We know that if f is an onto and one-to-one homeomorphism then it follows that for every subset K:
K is compact in M <=> f(K) is compact in N
Now, does this go the...
eddo's thread got me thinking: How can you tell if a specific topological space is compact? It seems like it would be hard to do just starting with the definition of compactness.
If f : U → R is continuous on U, and E ⊂ U is closed and bounded, then
f attains an absolute minimum and maximum on E.
How do you prove this theorem? I asked about this a while ago, but now I have a chance to redo the assignment and I need to fix my proof. I started by proving it for the 1...

This is a topology question.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to prove that a topological space X is COUNTABLY compact (i.e. every COUNTABLE open cover has a finite subcover), IF AND ONLY IF, EVERY NESTED SEQUENCE of closed nonempty subsets of X has a nonempty intersection...
I'd like hints only please. I have an analysis book and I could look up the proof myself but I'm trying to prove it myself as an exercise; so giving the full proof would be redundant as well as counterproductive to my own learning.
X is a metric space.
In this other book, K is compact iff...
Hi
I'm looking for a guide to introduce muyself in the study of compact and non compact Lie algebras. Please take a minute to signal me some bibliography al the respect.
Thank very much

A compact car, mass of 725 kg, is moving at 100 km.hr. What is its momentum? At what velocity is the momentum of a larger car, mass 2175 kg, equal to that of the smaller car?
this is what i have so far:
p=725(100 km/hr)
but i don't kno how to change km/hr into m/sec. And i don't know...
