NJ wildberger, you are an amazing teacher! You make my courses in algebraic topology sooo much more fun! Not just that, but you are a great teacher in general! The world benefits a lot from your works!
Yes, a trefoil knot is certainly homeomorphic to a circle: in fact any knot is. When we discuss knot theory we study how a particular circle is embedded in three dimensional space. So it is the relationship between the circle and the ambient space that is important.

Thanks Prabhakar. If you would like to support the channel, we do have a Patreon page--from which you can then access the online Algebraic Calculus One course which is very exciting!
Excellent explained. At the moment i'm reading Czes Kosniowski book to Algebraic Topology, i like your way of teaching, really helpful. Best regards from Poland.
Amir, if you're interested, he's quite clearly detailed his viewpoint in other videos, you need only look his name up on google to find them. But the crux of the matter is explained in MF42a: ( MF42a: Deflating modern mathematics: the problem with `functions' ) where he shows that the modern conception of functions is flawed. You can scroll through the rest of the series and find the obviously relevant videos; fair warning, you will probably not want to watch all of them in one sitting: some are quite long.

sir, your lectures are one of the best available online or otherwise as well

Yes you are right, that cover that I said was 3:1 was actually 4:1. Thanks.
Beautiful teaching! Very engaging and clear

Ah... such a wonderful appearence of the fundamental group(oid) functor. I almost thought you were gonna start talking about categories haha.
Your question is logically incoherent, since you are assuming the existence of R.
p(-3 1/3) = 1/3 mod 1
He's a realnumberphobic. ;-)
For a very good reason: the theory of ``real numbers'' is a fraud.
