Homotopy theory | Topological spaces | Algebraic topology

CW complex

A CW complex (also called cellular complex or cell complex) is a kind of a topological space that is particularly important in algebraic topology. It was introduced by J. H. C. Whitehead to meet the needs of homotopy theory. This class of spaces is broader and has some better categorical properties than simplicial complexes, but still retains a combinatorial nature that allows for computation (often with a much smaller complex). The C stands for "closure-finite", and the W for "weak" topology. (Wikipedia).

The projective Quadruple quad formula | Rational Geometry Math Foundations 148 | NJ Wildberger

In this video we introduce the projective version of the Quadruple quad formula, which not only controls the relationship between four projective points, but has a surprising connection with the geometry of the cyclic quadrilateral. The projective quadruple quad function is called R(a,b,

Henry Adams and Enrique Alvarado: An introduction to Morse theory

We give an introduction to Morse theory. Given a space equipped with a real-valued function, one can use Morse theory to produce a compact cellular model for that space. Furthermore, the cellular model reflects important properties of the function. We describe CW cell complexes, the Morse
