Theorems in algebraic topology

Hilton's theorem

In algebraic topology, Hilton's theorem, proved by Peter Hilton, states that the loop space of a wedge of spheres is homotopy-equivalent to a product of loop spaces of spheres. John Milnor showed more generally that the loop space of the suspension of a wedge of spaces can be written as an infinite product of loop spaces of suspensions of smash products. (Wikipedia).

Ptolemy's theorem and generalizations | Rational Geometry Math Foundations 131 | NJ Wildberger

The other famous classical theorem about cyclic quadrilaterals is due to the great Greek astronomer and mathematician, Claudius Ptolemy. Adopting a rational point of view, we need to rethink this theorem to state it in a purely algebraic way, without resort to `distances' and the correspon

Weil conjectures 1 Introduction

This talk is the first of a series of talks on the Weil conejctures. We recall properties of the Riemann zeta function, and describe how Artin used these to motivate the definition of the zeta function of a curve over a finite field. We then describe Weil's generalization of this to varie

What is the Riemann Hypothesis?

This video provides a basic introduction to the Riemann Hypothesis based on the the superb book 'Prime Obsession' by John Derbyshire. Along the way I look at convergent and divergent series, Euler's famous solution to the Basel problem, and the Riemann-Zeta function. Analytic continuation

Math 131 Fall 2018 100318 Heine Borel Theorem

Definition of limit point compactness. Compact implies limit point compact. A nested sequence of closed intervals has a nonempty intersection. k-cells are compact. Heine-Borel Theorem: in Euclidean space, compactness, limit point compactness, and being closed and bounded are equivalent

A Beautiful Proof of Ptolemy's Theorem.

Ptolemy's Theorem seems more esoteric than the Pythagorean Theorem, but it's just as cool. In fact, the Pythagorean Theorem follows directly from it. Ptolemy used this theorem in his astronomical work. Google for the historical details. Thanks to this video for the idea of this visual

Riemann Sum Defined w/ 2 Limit of Sums Examples Calculus 1

I show how the Definition of Area of a Plane is a special case of the Riemann Sum. When finding the area of a plane bound by a function and an axis on a closed interval, the width of the partitions (probably rectangles) does not have to be equal. I work through two examples that are rela

Pythagorean Theorem Proof

In this video, we present a geometric proof of the Pythagorean theorem. This famous theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Our proof utilizes the prin

One can always transform a triangulation of a convex polygon into another by performing a sequence of edge flips, which amounts to follow a path in the graph G of the associahedron. The least number of flips required to do so is then a distance in that graph whose estimation is instrumenta
