Topologia Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera. Storia[modifica | modifica wikitesto] I sette ponti di Königsberg, uno dei primi problemi topologici L'antenata della topologia è la geometria antica. Georg Cantor, l'inventore della teoria degli insiemi, iniziò a studiare la teoria degli insiemi di punti nello spazio euclideo verso la fine del XIX secolo. Maurice Fréchet, unificando il lavoro sugli spazi di funzioni di Cantor, Vito Volterra, Arzelà, Hadamard, Ascoli e altri, nel 1906 introdusse il concetto di spazio metrico[3]. Nel 1914 Felix Hausdorff, generalizzando la nozione di spazio metrico, coniò il termine di spazio topologico e definì quello che oggi è detto spazio di Hausdorff[4]. Finalmente, nel 1922 Kuratovskij, con una ulteriore lieve generalizzazione, fornì il concetto odierno di spazio topologico. Introduzione elementare[modifica | modifica wikitesto] Un semplice esercizio introduttivo consiste nel classificare le lettere maiuscole dell'alfabeto per classi di equivalenza topologica. ), dove e

The Educator’s Guide to Copyright, Fair Use, and Creative Commons Lately, we’ve been hearing more and more about digital copyrights and fair use in the news and online – particularly with the whole SOPA/PIPA uproar that recently swept the web. Also, we on the Edublogs support team have been getting more and more complaints and official requests to remove copyrighted content that users have placed on blogs. The legal jargon with respect to digital copyrights can be confusing – especially since different countries have their own laws and regulations. With this post, we hope to dispel a few myths and pull together a complete list of resources for teachers and students to use when blogging and working with content online. Rule #1: You Can’t Use Everything You Find On the Web Dexter the cat hates those that steal his photos… This may seem obvious, but judging by the notices we have received, many teachers (and especially students) are under the impression that if it is on the web, then it is up for grabs. Rule #2: There Are Resources You CAN Use Images Videos

Future-proofing needs collaboration, innovation, education and inspiration | Guardian Sustainable Business Make no mistake, the transformation from a firm of the past to a firm of the future is challenging, especially while operating amid of a perfect storm of social, economic and environmental volatility. Successful transformation requires courage, not fear. The more we understand and explore our own business environments and wider business ecosystems (as well as our own inner motives and values) the more we find pathways for success – learning through doing, growth through experience, success through failure. Looking around us in nature and human nature, we find enablers to assist us; catalysts which aid and optimise the transformational journey. Four primary catalysts for transformation are: collaboration, innovation, education and inspiration. Let's explore each in turn: Collaboration There has been much written recently about collaboration and co-operation. Martin Nowak with Roger Highfield, Super Co-operators. Innovation Education Inspiration We are entering uncharted waters.

7 Questions to Assess Your Business Model Design Ultimately, customers are the only relevant judges of your business model. However, even before you test your model in the market, you can assess its design with 7 questions that go well beyond the conventional focus on products and market segments. First things first. In order to assess your business model you should sketch it out on the Business Model Canvas outlined in the video below. Every business model has a product and/or service at its center that focuses on a customer’s job-to-be-done. First, ask yourself how well your Value Proposition is getting your target customer’s job done. That’s it as to the basics. 1. The time, effort, or budget a customer has to spend to switch from one product or service provider to another is called “switching costs”. A great example of designing switching costs into a business model is Apple’s introduction of the iPod in 2001. 2. Scalability describes how easy it is to expand a business model without equally increasing its cost base. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Classroom 2.0 Theosophy article: "The Life Principle" by Blavatsky A FEW years back a very interesting controversy raged between several scientists of reputation. Some of these held that spontaneous generation was a fact in nature, whilst others proved the contrary; to the effect that, as far as experiments went, there was found to be biogenesis, or generation of life from previously existing life, and never the production of any form of life from non-living matter. An erroneous assumption was made in the first instance that heat, equal to the boiling point of water, destroyed all life organisms; but by taking hermetically sealed vessels containing infusions, and subjecting them to such or a greater degree of heat, it was shown that living organisms did appear even after the application of so much heat. Along with the fact of biogenesis, we must note, however, Mr. Tracing life downwards we ultimately reach "protoplasm," called by Huxley "the physical basis of life," a colourless, jelly-like substance, absolutely homogeneous without parts or structure.
