    Finding the image of a set under f?

    Homework Statement Well I'm looking for a 'general' way about doing these problems. For example finding B = f(A) where f(x,y) = (x² - y², 2xy) and A consisting of all (x,y) with x > 0. The attempt at a solution I've tried considering the boundary, but I find that it just gets rather...

    Why do we specify chart image is open?

    Hi, When we define a manifold, and in particular define what a chart is, one of the conditions we specify is that the image \phi(U) is open in R^n. Why do we specify this? For example if we didn't specify this and allowed closed balls, then we could cover S^1 by \theta where \theta...

    Why does our brain invert the image received from our eyes?

    There's really no such thing as "upside down" in an absolute sense, only relative to what we're used to. Why then does our brain invert the image? What's wrong with leaving it the way it is?
