  • Re: Topos theory: axiom of choice implies a topos is Boolean
    I gather that Goldblatt differs from other texts in that it says very
    little about how topoi arise in algebraic geometry and is instead
    focussed on the interplay between topos theory and logic. This suits me
    since I'm not interested in AG but am learning about topos theory for
    applications to the foundations of quantum mechanics, but the author

  • Why Peano Curve is a curve?
    Peano Curve, the limit of a curve sequence, is known as "space-filling curve".
    It's easy to understand that the limit filling the square. But why it is not just a square, but also a curve?
    It seems that the limit of a curve sequence is not necessary a curve. Think about this curve sequence: f(n): x*x + y*y = 1/n. (A sequence of concentric circles). The limit of f(n) is just a single point (0, 0). Of course the limit is not a curve, and it is not mean a single point and a curve contain the same number of points. Why Peano Curve means a curve and a sequence contain the same number of points?

  • Re: Topos theory: axiom of choice implies a topos is Boolean
    I think I've figured out how to show that f u j = 1 (I'll omit
    subscripts on identity arrows for brevity). Firstly, since f u j = (f u
    j_1) n (f u j_2) it suffices to show that 1_d factors through f u j_1
    and f u j_2. Now observe that, by the aforementioned fact about
    pullbacks of coproducts, the following is a pullback:

    I prefer the continued fraction representation of pi to the decimal
    expansion. Since the first three terms of the continued fraction
    expansion of pi are 3, 7, 15, then this kind of pi birthday would be
    March 7th, 1915 or 2015. Or maybe July 3rd of 1915 or 2015, given the
    order of day and month in much of the world vs the US.

    Nope. It's any change. And I go to bed when I'm tired. I get up

    All roots of sin(z) are 0, +/- pi, +/- 2*pi,... ,

    Consider the complex plane if one wishes to

    Let's restrict everything to [0,1]; what happens in the complement
    doesn't matter. In particular, B is [0,1] \ A.
    Then B also has inner measure 0 and outer measure 1.
    So we define
