I am studying topology right now and am a bit confused about the idea of triangulation. The definition is: if a topological space X is homeomorphic to a polyhedron K (union of simplexes) then X is triangulable and K is a (not necessarily unique) triangulation.
Apparently ## K_0 \equiv {1} \cup...

My question is, if a car is moving at speed V, and its front wheels are at an angle (theta), what is the relationship between the angle of the wheels relative to them being parallel with the car and the radius of the circle at which the car goes around. Thanks.
When creating a right triangle in a unit circle how do you know where to place the leg from the terminal side? My textbook and Khan academy don't really explain this and it's just sort of assumed that I'd know. For example, If theta is equal to 135 degrees, where does the leg to complete the...
Hello!
In the topic I'm working on, I derived that the parameter $\sigma>0$ satisfies

Theoretically, if you had a perfect circle, and a perfectly flat surface, wouldn't only one atom touch at a time (assuming friction can't take away the perfect circle/flat surface)? Personally this doesn't sound right, but I can't think of why it wouldn't.

Because a triangle comes out to 180 degrees, and yet it can only have three sides. A circle has 360 degrees, but its number of "sides" are uncountable. Can someone explain this?
Obviously, they exist as mathematical concepts, and those concepts are real, but in physical reality, everything is made up of subatomic particles and, if the theory is ever verified, strings. So if you try to construct a curve, circle or sphere, you are necessarily stacking a bunch of subatomic...
