hedron: four 2-dimensional faces, but no 3-dim solid. This illustrates how linear algebra naturally arises in this kind of problem. We then provide a much simpler alternative calculation using the more flexible framework of semi-simplicial complexes, or delta-complexes, where only two triangular faces are needed, and the calculation is much simplified, however still giving the same final result (which by the way is that H_0 (S^2)=Z, H_1 (S^2)=0 and H_2 (S^2)=Z, with all higher homology groups being 0. ************************ Screenshot PDFs for my videos are available at the website http://wildegg.com. These give you a concise overview of the contents of the lectures for various Playlists: great for review, study and summary. My research papers can be found at my Research Gate page, at https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Norman_Wildberger My blog is at http://njwildberger.com/, where I will discuss lots of foundational issues, along with other things. Online courses will be developed at openlearning.com. The first one, already underway is Algebraic Calculus One at https://www.openlearning.com/courses/algebraic-calculus-one/ Please join us for an exciting new approach to one of mathematics' most important subjects!
