Hi, I am not sure if this would be the right place to post this but i know that it is a mathematical concept.

I have read a bit about topology in the latest scientific american, and it really intrigued me. I am fascinated by this idea.

Therefore i ask if you would kindly point me in the direction of any useful topology sites... ie, any you have come across.

Thanks a lot K_ :biggrin:

I had trouble with topology last term because it's so ridiculously counter-intuitive. (I do better with stuff that makes sense) Anyway here's some stuff from good ol Mathworld:

Was it the article on the Poincaré conjecture? That was really facinating. Can anyone reccomend a good undergradate text in toplogy?
 
Wich topology u are asking about?
there are an infinity kind of topology
 
the standard intro to point-set & algbraic topology is of course Topology by Munkres. I also like the ones by Dugundji & Willard, but those ones are a bit more advanced than the Munkres one.
 
yeah the one about Poincare. It was great
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
