LOCAL CONNECTEDNESS AND RELATED TOPICS -- SPECIAL BIBLIOGRAPHY ON LOCAL CONNECTEDNESS AND RETRACTION -- GENERAL BIBLIOGRAPHY -- INDEXSolomon Lefschetz pioneered the field of topology--the study of the properties of many�sided figures and their ability to deform, twist, and stretch without changing their shape. According to Lefschetz, "If it's just turning the crank, it's algebra, but if it's got an idea in it, it's topology." The very word topology comes from the title of an earlier Lefschetz monograph published in 1920. In Topics in Topology Lefschetz developed a more in-depth introduction to the field, providing authoritative explanations of what would today be considered the basic tools of algebraic topology. Lefschetz moved to the United States from France in 1905 at the age of twenty-one to find employment opportunities not available to him as a Jew in France. He worked at Westinghouse Electric Company in Pittsburgh and there suffered a horrible laboratory accident, losing both hands and forearms. He continued to work for Westinghouse, teaching mathematics, and went on to earn a Ph.D. and to pursue an academic career in mathematics. When he joined the mathematics faculty at Princeton University, he became one of its first Jewish faculty members in any discipline. He was immensely popular, and his memory continues to elicit admiring anecdotes. Editor of Princeton University Press's Annals of Mathematics from 1928 to 1958, Lefschetz built it into a world-class scholarly journal. He published another book, Lectures on Differential Equations, with Princeton in 1946.Annals of mathematics studies ;no. 10.TopologyAddition.Algebraic topology.Banach space.Barycentric coordinate system.C space.Centroid.Closed set.Compact space.Connected space.Continuous function.Contractible space.Convex set.Corollary.Diameter.Dimension (vector space).Existential quantification.General topology.Homology (mathematics).Homotopy.Intersection (set theory).K0.Local property.Locally compact space.Lowest common denominator.Manifold.Metric space.Metrization theorem.Notation.Parallelepiped.Polyhedron.Polytope.Retract.Simplex.Simplicial complex.Subset.Theorem.Topological space.Topology.Vector space.Topology.513.83510.82Lefschetz Solomon, 12523DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910154742703321Topics in Topology.

Great empires collapsed, prominent cities were destroyed, interregional exchange disappeared, and writing systems were all but lost in most of the Eastern Mediterranean. The goal of this volume is to examine one key aspect of the transition from the Late Bronze Age to the Iron I in the Southern Levant, the development and changes in interregional exchange both over time and regionally. Twelve non-local types of material culture were collected into a database in order to track the development of interregional exchange over the course of the LBA to the Iron I. With this data, this volume explores what affect, if any, did changes in interregional exchange have on the ‘collapse’ of the LBA societies in the Southern Levant. Another key aspect of this work is an examination of the supposed wave of destruction which took the Southern Levant by storm to see if these events might have affected trade and contributed to the transitions during the end of the LBA into the Iron I. In all this work seeks to understand what changes took place in interregional exchange, how might destruction have affected this, and was this the cause for the transition to the Iron I.Exchange, Destruction, and a Transitioning Society Middle & Near Eastern archaeologybicsscLate Bronze AgeInterregional exchangeEarly Iron AgeSouthern LevantSea PeopleDestructionCollapseMiddle & Near Eastern archaeologyMillek Jesse Michaelauth1732871BOOK9910842273703321Exchange, Destruction, and a Transitioning Society4147796UNINA
