    Books from the Masters: Learn from Gauss, Newton & Euclid

    I think there is no need to read books of masters like Gauss or Newton, their masterpieces are too old to learn. You can learn Newton's work by taking the course Calculus, learn Gauss's work buy learning differential geometry or complex analysis or number theory. There is no need to read their...

    Is it appropriate to ask questions to faculties in the department?

    I used to learn math by myself but found it difficult because I often came upon problems that I didn't understand and nobody could help with them. Now I get a chance to study in a math center and there are many specialists. I really want to ask them my questions but I'm afraid whether it...

    Learn Geometry & Topology: Self-Study Tips & Strategies

    Since there no teacher doing geometry or topology in our school,I have to learn some course all by myself.But I often come upon problems when I'm reading the book or doing the exercises.In some exercises,I even don't know which part of book can be used to solve it. So I want to ask here hope...

    Cohomology of Z^+ and Infinite Dimensional de Rham Cohomology

    Oh,I see.Every element is a finite linear combination of bases,so H^0(M)\otimes H^0(F) consist of finite sum of matrices.

    Cohomology of Z^+ and Infinite Dimensional de Rham Cohomology

    Hi morphism! I'm still not clear why it is a finite linear combination \sum a_{ij} \, e_i \otimes f_j,since the bases \{ e_i \} and \{ f_i \} are infinite dimensional,so \{ e_i \otimes f_i \} should be infinite dimensional,isn't it? Thank you!

    Cohomology of Z^+ and Infinite Dimensional de Rham Cohomology

    Let M and F each be the set Z^+ of all positive integers.So the de Rham Cohomolgoy H^0(M) and H^0(F) is infinite dimensional. But why does H^0(M)\otimes H^0(F) consist of finite sums of matrices (a_{ij}) of rank 1? Thank you!

    Is THIS really the correct way to judge math and science talent ?

    I've take part in Math Olympiads in China when I'm a high school student.I learned by my self and got a book then read it.I found I fear every hard problem I met because I can't solve it,even don't know where to start to think.And I also feel it boring because Olympiads problems had less...

    What is your favorite writing tool?

    I want to save enough money to buy a Pelikan M400 to write math though I don't know how does it fells. It sells 1000 rmb in China.

    How to calculate the Euler class of a sphere bundle?

    Thank you lavinia! I can get a sketchy understand of the proof.There are some basic knowledge of transverse intersection I don't know.I will look at it.

    How to calculate the Euler class of a sphere bundle?

    Thank you lavinia and zhentil! To lavinia,I'm not very clear about some property of Euler class you listed,my foundation of topology is quite insufficient.The derivation of the global angular form for an oriented 2 plane bundle :by\frac{d\theta_\alpha}{2\pi}-\pi^* \ksi_\alpha=\frac{d...

    How to calculate the Euler class of a sphere bundle?

    I have read the section about sphere bundle in Differential Forms in Algebraic Topology,but I still don't understand the Euler class very clear.I don't know how to calculate it for a sphere bundle,for example the sphere bundle of S^2. And I can't work out the exercise at the end of the...

    The Euler class of the unit tangent bundle to S^2

    Hi lavinia! Why it winds twice around the circle then the local degree is 2?Thank you.

    The Euler class of the unit tangent bundle to S^2

    This is an example from Bott and Tu 's book DFAT(page 125).The example is in the image.I don't understand why can we get the local degree of the section s by constructing an vector field by parallel translation and calculate the rotating number of it.And why the local degree is 2? Could...

    Extending a d-cohomology class to D-cocycle

    Maybe I ignore to explain that \pi:E\rightarrow M is a sphere bundle with structure group Diff (S^n)
