Beginning with a definition of topology and a discussion of Euler's theorem, Mr. Barr brings wit and clarity to these topics: \u003cbr\u003eNew Surfaces (Orientability, Dimension, The Klein Bottle, etc.)\u003cbr\u003eThe Shortest Moebius Strip\u003cbr\u003eThe Conical Moebius Strip\u003cbr\u003eThe Klein Bottle\u003cbr\u003eThe Projective Plane (Symmetry)\u003cbr\u003eMap Coloring\u003cbr\u003eNetworks (Koenigsberg Bridges, Betti Numbers, Knots)\u003cbr\u003eThe Trial of the Punctured Torus\u003cbr\u003eContinuity and Discreteness (\"Next Number,\" Continuity, Neighborhoods, Limit Points)\u003cbr\u003eSets (Valid or Merely True?

Conical Moebius strips, projective planes, the principle of map coloring, the classic problem of the Koenigsberg bridges, and many more aspects of topology are carefully and concisely illuminated by the author's informal and entertaining approach.\u003cbr\u003eNow in this inexpensive paperback edition, \u003ci\u003eExperiments in Topology \u003c\/i\u003ebelongs in the library of any math enthusiast with a taste for brainteasing adventures in the byways of mathematics.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 7.93 x 5.39 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 1989\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45055546851430,"sku":"9780486259338","price":20.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/VFZESHJ4bUwxVE95U05VYTBSWTZqUT09.webp?v=1773247841","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/experiments-in-topology-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
