On the Edge
Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar| Speaker: | Matt Rathbun, UC Davis |
| Location: | 2112 MSB |
| Start time: | Thu, Oct 12 2006, 11:00AM |
I will be talking about two different notions of the "boundary" of a metric space. In a large class of spaces, these two notions coincide. I will talk about one particular space in which they disagree, and we will actually happen upon a trivial topology in the real world (in a manner of speaking). Virtually no background will be required.
