It imposes a categorical structure on the subsets of a given set $latex X$....

Equations of the form $latex x^3 = y^2 + k$ are called Mordell equations. In this post we're going to prove that the equation $latex x^3 = y^2 -7$ has no integer solutions, using (with one exception) nothing more complicated than congruences. Theorem: There are no integer solutions to the equation $latex x^3 = y^2...

Here's a fun thing: if you want to generate a random finite $latex T_0$ space, instead select a random subset from $latex \mathbb{S}^n$, the $latex n$-fold power of the Sierpinski space $latex \mathbb{S}$, since every $latex T_0$ space embeds into some (arbitrary) product of copies of the Sierpinski space. (Recall that $latex \mathbb{S}$ has underlying...
