Course Description

Overview

Explore an algebraic version of Conway's ZIP proof for classifying two-dimensional surfaces in this 42-minute lecture on Algebraic Topology. Learn how to replace basic polygons with spheres containing holes and use algebraic notation to manipulate edges between these holes. Discover key concepts such as zipping spheres, handling opposite direction edges, and understanding neighborhoods as part of the proof strategy. Gain insights into this fundamental topic in topology, presented by Professor N J Wildberger from the School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW.
