Winding number

In mathematics, the winding number or winding index of a closed curve in the plane around a given point is an integer representing the total number of times that curve travels counterclockwise around the point, i.e., the curve's number of turns. The winding number depends on the orientation of the curve, and it is negative if the curve travels around the point clockwise. Winding numbers are fundamental objects of study in algebraic topology, and they play an important role in vector calculus, complex analysis, geometric topology, differential geometry, and physics (such as in string theory). (Wikipedia).

Winding number

In this video, I define the concept of a winding number of a curve around a point, which intuitively measures how many times a curve loops around a point. For example, for a circle (or any simple closed curve), the winding number should be 1, but for the curve in the thumbnail, the winding

Curvature, turning numbers and winding numbers (cont) | Differential Geometry 17 | NJ Wildberger

We continue the discussion of planar curvature of a curve, including the notion of turning number and winding number. This connects with the notion of the degree of a map from a circle to a circle, and relates also to a useful result in complex analysis sometimes called the Dog on a Leash

What are imaginary numbers?

Imaginary numbers are any numbers that include the imaginary number i. A mix of imaginary and real numbers gives you what’s called a complex number. The primary reason we use imaginary numbers is to give us a way to find the root (radical) of a negative number. There’s no way to use real

Kimihiko Motegi: L-space knots in twist families and satellite L-space knots

Abstract: Twisting a knot K in S3 along a disjoint unknot c produces a twist family of knots {Kn} indexed by the integers. Comparing the behaviors of the Seifert genus g(Kn) and the slice genus g4(Kn) under twistings, we prove that if g(Kn)−g4(Kn) [is less than] C for some constant C for i
