Topology Waldman

Célia Oneto Bensaid’s third album on the NoMadMusic label features the early concertos of two composers and pianists, accompanied by the Orchestre national d’Avignon-Provence under the baton of Débora Waldman. The album aims to bring musical heritage into the spotlight by showcasing the mutual esteem and incredible virtuosity of the two composers.

Topology is one of the fundamental tools in relating entities. Topology naturally finds application in all fields of engineering, physical sciences, life sciences, social sciences, medicine, business and even the arts. The motivating insight behind topology is that some geometric problems depend not on the exact shape of the objects involved, but rather on the way they are put together. Circa 1750, Euler stated the polyhedron formula, V − E + F = 2 (where V, E, and F respectively indicate the number of vertices, edges, and faces of the polyhedron), which may be regarded as the first theorem, signaling the birth of topology. Subjects included in topology are algebraic topology and graph theory. A related branch to graph theory is molecular topology (with concerns of either chemical or biological structure).

Since the early part of the 20th century, topology has gradually spread to many other branches of mathematics, and this book demonstrates how the subject continues to play a central role in the field. Written by a world-renowned mathematician, this classic text traces the history of algebraic topology beginning with its creation in the early 1900s and describes in detail the important theories that were discovered before 1960. Through the work of Poincaré, de Rham, Cartan, Hureqicz, and many others, this historical book also focuses on the emergence of new ideas and methods that have led 21st-century mathematicians towards new research directions.

This book contains the edited version of lectures and contributed papers presented at the NA TO ADV ANCED RESEARCH WORKSHOP ON TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURES, held at Hotel do Mar, Sesimbra, Portugal, 20 June to 26 June, 1992, and organised by the Mathematical Institutc, The Technical University of Denmark and bv CEMUL-Center of Mechanics and Materials of the Techmcal University of Lisbon, Fifty participants from' fourteen countries attended the workshop,

The essentials of point-set topology, complete with motivation and numerous examples
Topology: Point-Set and Geometric presents an introduction to topology that begins with the axiomatic definition of a topology on a set, rather than starting with metric spaces or the topology of subsets of Rn. This approach includes many more examples, allowing students to develop more sophisticated intuition and enabling them to learn how to write precise proofs in a brand-new context, which is an invaluable experience for math majors.
