The numbers are usually studied in layers of increasing subtlety and intricacy. We start with the natural, or counting, numbers $latex {\mathbb{N} = \{ 1, 2, 3, \dots \}}&fg=000000$. Then come the whole numbers or integers, $latex {\mathbb{Z} = \{ \dots, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, \dots \}}&fg=000000$. All the ratios of these (avoiding division... |

What is Infinity? We are going to start this post by trying to figure out what infinity is. What do you think of when you think of infinity? Most people know that it's this uncountable number or thing (or is it...?). There is no beginning or end, it just goes on forever. |

The study of cardinalities of infinite sets is one of the most intriguing areas of mathematics that an undergraduate mathematics major will encounter. It never fails to bring crooked smiles of joy, disbelief, confusion and wonder to their faces. The results are beautiful, deep, and unexpected. Recall that two sets have the same cardinality if... |

Consider a smooth one-parameter family $latex {f_t}$ of diffeomorphisms on a manifold $latex M$. It is a flow if $latex f_0(x)=x$ and $latex f_{t}\circ f_{s}(x) = f_{s+t}(x)$ for every $latex x\in M$, , $latex t ,s \in \mathbb{R}$. Set $latex X(x)=\lim\limits_{h\to 0} \frac{1}{h}(f_h(x) - x)$. This generates a vector field $latex X: M \to TM$.... |
