When students are genuinely curious about new concepts and ideas, they develop their own study skills, says Professor Pekka Pankka. Geometry, Algebra, and Topology are pure mathematics and essential ...

The geometry and topology group at UB is traditionally strong in research and mentoring. Our faculty work in the areas of algebraic topology, complex geometry, differential geometry, geometric group ...

The Math 8806-8807 sequence will cover the following topics: Group Theory (Group actions, Sylow, Nilpotent/Solvable, simple groups, Jordan-Holder series, presentations); commutative algebra ...

US mathematician Dennis Sullivan has won one of the most prestigious awards in mathematics, for his contributions to topology—the study of qualitative properties of shapes—and related fields.

Dr. Das has taught a broad range of courses, from Quantitative Skills and Mathematical Reasoning to graduate-level Topology and Analysis. He has mentored over 25 capstone research projects and has ...

Topology has journeyed from the purely mathematical arena to feature throughout physics. In the mid-twentieth century, George Gamow remarked that only number theory and topology had no application to ...

Endperiodic maps, splitting sequences, and branched surfaces. Michael Landry and Chi Cheuk Tsang. To appear in Geometry and Topology. 144 pages. A polynomial invariant for veering triangulations.

Kathryn Hess can’t tell the difference between a coffee mug and a bagel. That’s the old joke anyway. Hess, a researcher at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, is one of the world’s leading ...

The mathematics hidden in materials keeps getting more exotic. Topological states of matter — which derive exotic properties from their electrons’ ‘knotty’ quantum states — have shot from rare ...
