00:00 Review of groups, homomorphisms, and isomorphisms 18:45 Return to topology: path homotopy 22:55 Why must two paths with the same endpoints in R2 be homotopic? 30:20 Homotopy is an equivalence relation 42:15 Different equivalence classes of paths in the annulus 45:20 Loops 58:00 definition of the fundamental group

Wonderful lecture.

[@rolandscherer1618]

The topic was didactically perfectly motivated. Thank you very much!

[@joshuad.furumele365]

Another excellent lecture! Thanks

[@parthanpti]

Great..... lecture.... Its a key to entering in the modern mathematics

[@hanselpedia]

Thanks, lots of stuff explained in a intuitive way

Nice suit and nice lecture! Thanks.

[@Spacexioms]

I just don’t get the example at 43:01. Wouldn’t f & g be homotopic to each other since they have the same start & end point?

[@kirillshakirov9453]

Great video

[@imthebestmathematician7477]

Thank you

Can see this pictorially using a 1dim path on a 2dim surface in 3dim. In larger dimensions not sure how an extrapolation is made using an analogy of an n dimensions path on a pdim brane in an sdim space.

[@richardchapman1592]

Can you make a loop that approaches infinity or indeed any surface that approaches the infinities of it's orthogonality plus one?

That’s some of the best looking annulus in NA

[@paulwary]

At 24:30, the explicit linear interpolation formula is given for one possible homotopy, to show that there is always a homotopy of paths in R2, correct? The language suggest that this is THE homotopy (ie the one and only)

[@enpeacemusic192]

I think so, yeah, homotopy of paths is ány continuous deformation of paths afaik

What on earth are you trying to say?

@@John-js2uj have an egoistic humility that my partial understanding can use these precise mathematical concepts in the imprecise social sciences. Worries me tho that mathematics applied to human circumstance can lead to a kind of cyber fascism if AI is taken too far too fast.

Great suit. Big effort on the outfit. Well done

[@bengrange]

at 39:00, when you said f and g are homotopy equivalent, did you mean to say homotopic?

[@bengrange]

and at 53:16, you meant "equivalence classes" not relations. Thank you for the great lectures!!

Great lecture. Camera work needs improvement.

Last comment on my editor needed a vector from the centre of a word to the end.

[@richardchapman1592]

Watching the video again, it is not clear if the lines between s on f(t) are straight in R2. Some explanation of their continuity as s and t vary would help especially in spaces other than R2.

[@randomcandy1000]

isnt S^1 x [0,1] the cylinder?

[@DogeMcShiba]

Yes, the annulus is homeomorphic to the surface of a cylinder.
