Theodore William Gamelin is an American mathematician. He is a professor emeritus of mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles. [1]Gamelin was born in 1939. He received his B.S. degree in mathematics from Yale University in 1960, [1] and completed his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley in 1963.
Kelley's 1955 text, General Topology, which eventually appeared in three editions and several translations, is a classic and widely cited graduate-level introduction to topology. An appendix sets out a new approach to axiomatic set theory, now called Morse–Kelley set theory, that builds on Von Neumann–Bernays–Gödel set theory.
General topology grew out of a number of areas, most importantly the following: the detailed study of subsets of the real line (once known as the topology of point sets; this usage is now obsolete) the introduction of the manifold concept; the study of metric spaces, especially normed linear spaces, in the early days of functional analysis.
A three-dimensional model of a figure-eight knot.The figure-eight knot is a prime knot and has an Alexander–Briggs notation of 4 1.. Topology (from the Greek words τόπος, 'place, location', and λόγος, 'study') is the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties of a geometric object that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching, twisting, crumpling ...
George Finlay Simmons (March 3, 1925 [1] – August 6, 2019) [2] [3] was an American mathematician who worked in topology and classical analysis. He is known as the author of widely used textbooks on university mathematics.
In mathematics, topological modular forms (tmf) is the name of a spectrum that describes a generalized cohomology theory.In concrete terms, for any integer n there is a topological space , and these spaces are equipped with certain maps between them, so that for any topological space X, one obtains an abelian group structure on the set of homotopy classes of continuous maps from X to .
The following is a list of named topologies or topological spaces, many of which are counterexamples in topology and related branches of mathematics. This is not a list of properties that a topology or topological space might possess; for that, see List of general topology topics and Topological property.
In mathematics, a pointed space or based space is a topological space with a distinguished point, the basepoint.The distinguished point is just simply one particular point, picked out from the space, and given a name, such as , that remains unchanged during subsequent discussion, and is kept track of during all operations.
