In mathematics, in the field of topology, a topological space is said to be a-paracompact if every open cover of the space has a locally finite refinement. In contrast to the definition of paracompactness, the refinement is not required to be open. Every paracompact space is a-paracompact, and in regular spaces the two notions coincide. (Wikipedia).
Interstellar flight: 10 Hard Facts
We can build powerful rockets able to carry people and machines into orbit, or even vault them to the moon. But our fastest spacecraft don't hold a candle to the distances that define Interstellar Flight. So what's on the drawing boards? What futuristic designs and fuel options promise to

Geometry of Surfaces - Topological Surfaces Lecture 1 : Oxford Mathematics 3rd Year Student Lecture
This is the first of four lectures from Dominic Joyce's 3rd Year Geometry of Surfaces course. The four lectures cover topological surfaces and conclude with a big result, namely the classification of surfaces. This lecture provides an introduction to the course and to topological surfaces.

Bradley Nelson (2/19/22): Parameterized Vietoris-Rips Filtrations via Covers
A challenge in computational topology is to deal with large filtered geometric complexes built from point cloud data such as Vietoris-Rips filtrations. This has led to the development of schemes for parallel computation and compression which restrict simplices to lie in open sets in a cove

We take a detour from the Angular Momentum Mind Map to cover the important topic of Tensor Product spaces in the Dirac Formalism. In quantum mechanics, the notion of tensors is hidden under the hood of the formalism and this lesson opens that hood. The goal is to make us confident that we
