What is a Line? A Brief Overview of: Topology

Topology is the Core of Math All of the math you normally do uses topology (without you knowing it) Math with real numbers (like ) is a type of topology Topology is hard to describe

Some Definitions of Topology Topology is the mathematical study of the properties that are preserved through deformations, twistings, and stretchings of objects. Tearing, however, is not allowed. It is the modern version of geometry The cup and the donut are topologically the same

Topological Objects Topologists study objects like these A Möbius strip, an object with only one surface and one edge.Möbius strip A Klein Bottle, a surface in four dimensions with only one side. It passes through itself in the fourth dimension.

Georg Cantor Developed the basis of set theory Developed the basis of set theory Was the first person to formally describe infinity Was the first person to formally describe infinity His ideas were ridiculed and he was called a “scientific charlatan”, a “renegade”, and a “corruptor of youth” His ideas were ridiculed and he was called a “scientific charlatan”, a “renegade”, and a “corruptor of youth” Georg Cantor

How Many Integers are There? Compare the set of positive integers with the set of even positive integers. Which set is larger? Compare the set of positive integers with the set of even positive integers. Which set is larger? Notice that every integer can be paired with an even integer Notice that every integer can be paired with an even integer The two sets have the same cardinality The two sets have the same cardinality Even Positive Integers All Positive Integers

How Many Rational Numbers? List the rational numbers in a pattern like this List the rational numbers in a pattern like this The red line will eventually touch every rational number The red line will eventually touch every rational number If you number them 1, 2, 3, 4, … then you can see the rational numbers have the same cardinality as the integers

How Many Real Numbers? If the real numbers have the same cardinality as the integers, you can list them all If the real numbers have the same cardinality as the integers, you can list them all Cantor discovered this diagonal slash. Subtract one from each green digit to get the purple number Cantor discovered this diagonal slash. Subtract one from each green digit to get the purple number The purple number isn’t on the list. The real numbers are more infinite than infinity! The purple number isn’t on the list. The real numbers are more infinite than infinity!

Geometry and Set Theory A line is a set of points that satisfy a linear equation in two dimensions A line is a set of points that satisfy a linear equation in two dimensions A plane is a set of points that satisfy a linear equation in three dimensions A plane is a set of points that satisfy a linear equation in three dimensions Armed with this new set theory, Felix Klein ( ) and others developed a new geometry that merged Euclidean and Cartesian forms Armed with this new set theory, Felix Klein ( ) and others developed a new geometry that merged Euclidean and Cartesian forms Klein wrote: “No one shall expel us from the Paradise that Cantor has created” Klein wrote: “No one shall expel us from the Paradise that Cantor has created”

Dimension We normally think of dimension as either 1D, 2D, or 3D

How Long is a Coastline? The length of a coastline depends on how long your ruler is The ruler on the left measures a 6 unit coastline The ruler on the right, half the size, measures a 7.5 unit coastline

Fractal Dimension For any specific coastline, s is the length of the rule and L(s) is the length measured by the ruler. A log/log plot gives a straight line The steeper the line, the rougher the coast The fractal dimension of a coast is (1 - slope ) The steeper the slope, the rougher the coastline Photo downloaded 5/12/10 from

Repeating Scales This is the Scottish coast All fractals are “self similar” – they have similar details at big scales and little scales Notice how the big bays are similar to the small bays, which are similar to the tiny inlets

The Koch Curve The Koch Curve has a fractal dimension of 1.26

Cantor Dust Cantor Dust is created by removing the middle third of every line Cantor Dust has a fractal dimension of 0.63

Sierpenski Carpet The Sierpenski Triangle is created by removing the middle third of each triangle The fractal dimension is 1.59
