Can see this pictorially using a 1dim path on a 2dim surface in 3dim. In larger dimensions not sure how an extrapolation is made using an analogy of an n dimensions path on a pdim brane in an sdim space.
Watching the video again, it is not clear if the lines between s on f(t) are straight in R2. Some explanation of their continuity as s and t vary would help especially in spaces other than R2.

Wonderful lecture.
The topic was didactically perfectly motivated. Thank you very much!
Another excellent lecture! Thanks
Great..... lecture....
Its a key to entering in the modern mathematics
Thanks, lots of stuff explained in a intuitive way
Gem
Nice suit and nice lecture! Thanks.
Thank you
I just don’t get the example at 43:01. Wouldn’t f & g be homotopic to each other since they have the same start & end point?

I think so, yeah, homotopy of paths is ány continuous deformation of paths afaik
Great suit. Big effort on the outfit. Well done
at 39:00, when you said f and g are homotopy equivalent, did you mean to say homotopic?
and at 53:16, you meant "equivalence classes" not relations. Thank you for the great lectures!!

What on earth are you trying to say?

Can you make a loop that approaches infinity or indeed any surface that approaches the infinities of it's orthogonality plus one?
That’s some of the best looking annulus in NA

Great lecture. Camera work needs improvement.

Last comment on my editor needed a vector from the centre of a word to the end.

isnt S^1 x [0,1] the cylinder?
Yes, the annulus is homeomorphic to the surface of a cylinder.
