... 2 can be written as the sum of two primes. This is called Goldbach’s Conjecture. No one has ever proven this conjecture is true or found a counterexample to show that it is false. As of the writing of this text, it is unknown if this conjecture is true or false. It is known; however, that all even n ...

... d) Given a set M ⊂ X , what is its closure/interior/boundary? Solution: a) We have ∅ = (+∞, +∞), and R = (−∞, +∞). Given ai , i ∈ I, where I is any index set, we have ∪i∈I (ai , +∞) = (inf i ai , +∞) ∈ τhl . If I is finite then ∩i∈I (ai , +∞) = (maxi ai , +∞) ∈ τhl . Hence, τhl contains the empty se ...

3-manifold
In mathematics, a 3-manifold is a space that locally looks like Euclidean 3-dimensional space. Intuitively, a 3-manifold can be thought of as a possible shape of the universe. Just like a sphere looks like a plane to a small enough observer, all 3-manifolds look like our universe does to a small enough observer. This is made more precise in the definition below.
