The history of graph (network) theory (GNT) started with an attempt to find a single walking path, which crosses, once and only once, each of the seven bridges of old Königsberg - known as the Seven Bridges...
This package includes a DVD of two award-winning computer animations of mathematical concepts and theorems, as well as supplementary material. OUTSIDE IN explains the amazing discovery, made by Steve Smale...
Video lecture, including slides and notes, on the subject of low-dimensional topology. Includes question and answer session. [67 minutes]
In new series about Five Shapes, mathematician Marcus du Sautoy finds his favourite forms in some highly unlikely places. He visits a spherical building in Paris, hears music inspired by the symmetries of...
CD-ROM resource exploring fundamental questions of science using interactive models and animations. Modules include topology; labyrinths and knots; cosmic geometry; complexity and cellular automata; life;...
Leading topologists from around the world, in Heidelberg for an international conference, talk about their understanding and use of topology. Animated grapics illustrate the Alexander Horned Sphere and...
Recording of a lecture given by Professor R A Bailey as part of the London Mathematical Society’s Popular Lecture Series. It shows that a little mathematics can improve the design of expensive agricultural...
Why is it ridiculous to draw a map of the earth on a torus (the surface of a solid ring)? The earth is not a perfect sphere, yet a map drawn on a perfect sphere is acceptable. Shows that there are an...
In 1958 Stephen Smale demonstrated that it must be possible to turn a sphere inside out in three dimensions, without tearing or creasing the surface, but allowing the sphere to pass through itself. He was...
These two computer-animated films describe and prove an elementary theorem on topology known as the Whitney-Graustein theorem: two regular curves in the plane are regularly homotopic if, and only if they...
