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.
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.
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 .
The books in this series, like the other Springer-Verlag mathematics series, are small yellow books of a standard size. The books in this series tend to be written at a more elementary level than the similar Graduate Texts in Mathematics series, although there is a fair amount of overlap between the two series in terms of material covered and ...
In mathematics, a topos (US: / ˈ t ɒ p ɒ s /, UK: / ˈ t oʊ p oʊ s, ˈ t oʊ p ɒ s /; plural topoi / ˈ t ɒ p ɔɪ / or / ˈ t oʊ p ɔɪ /, or toposes) is a category that behaves like the category of sheaves of sets on a topological space (or more generally, on a site).
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.
