  • In this video we discuss one of the hardest math subjects for undergrads to learn, Topology. We also take a look at a wonderful book titled Introduction to General Topology. It was written by George Cain.

    Haven't studied topology, but I really like the layout of the book - the old school style: definition, theorem, proof, example. And all with clean notation, no messy subscripts and superscripts flying around that get introduced for one section and then dropped for the next section because too many have accumulated. Unfortunately, clean layouts like these are hard to come by, especially in newer books.

    The dedication must have been to his father. The George Cain that wrote this book taught at Georgia Tech thru 2001, died in 2015. Fall of 1988 I took real analysis from him. We used a book by Bartle. There were classes and a weekly 2-hour lab where he would have us work problems on the board and grill us on our methods. Towards the end of the course he called me into his office and asked me had he been too hard on me. I guess some of the other students had said something to him. I was sort of confused and told him no. I was an engineering student and it was my first proof-heavy math class, though not my last. Want to learn proofs, try writing it out and explaining it to someone that's as good or better at it than you.

    I love your approach to learning, that if you're interested in something you can just dive in and get wet. I've never even taken a calculus course but I enjoy reading a bit of graph theory here and there and a bit of topology here and there.
    So many ways to enjoy math as a hobby!

    Topology by Muncrez sp? Wow, there is a section that states "now we are going to introduce a deep concept" 7 page proof. My first PhD course, ouch. Ucsc student but the prof was from UCB. I didn't shave, eat, and studied it 18 hours a day. I will never forget the class size was 2.

    Any chance of a video on studying Dynamical systems? i feel like its an area of math only some people see but for any university degree where you encounter differential equations it is criminal to not let these students study these systems and talk about the state spaces asosciated with them, showing them graphically where the solutions sit, writing ODE in standard form , using Lyapunov stability analysis etc ? im a 2nd year physics undergrad and im taking the pure math class of dynamical systems right now, would be interesting and pleasent to hear your insight on this topic!

  • @sardanapale2302
    @sardanapale2302 Місяць тому +11

    I would advise strongly against this book. This is 'old school' topology, at a time where students has a much stronger background.
    Yeah a 1994 book is already old by today's very low standards, imagine books from the 50's etc. Look for more recent introductions, there should be many.
    A very good book, with a lot of examples is Munkres Topology : you will get much more than you need to start Topology, but I think it works very well for an introduction text.
    An 'old school' book that is very well written is Kelley's Topology... But again, you need some solid background.
    Pseudometrics, for an introduction on topology is a big NO. It is a useless nuance for a beginner. Better start with any introduction text on metric spaces (or functional analysis) and go from there. Ypu can also see by the very good state of the book that Sorcerer did not study this book, did not try to do the exercises... Notice that this is the case for many of his reviews (some do point out to great references, that is the only reason I am a subscriber)

    Is a Hausdorff space just saying any two distinct points are isolated and that there exists a neighborhood around x that does not contain y?

    • @usernamenotfound80
      @usernamenotfound80 Місяць тому

      What you described is called a T1 space, which is weaker than being a Hausdorff space (aka T2). For a Hausdorff space, you need _both_ x and y to have neigbourhoods which do not intersect one another. Another way to phrase it is that x has a _closed_ neigbourhood that does not contain y.
      Here is an example of a T1 space that is not Hausdorff:
      The underlying set is an arbitrary infinite set X. The topology on X is the cofinite topology, i. e. a set is closed iff it is finite or all of X.

    What you went through in the video is basic info, why would you need to prove it? It's union and intersection. It's kids stuff to be honest. It's so simple stuff and you're trying to make it like it's harder than calculus or you need background for it.
