compacted...

another pretty good day spent in the library... though I am sure those who were there would think I was rather rushed today. Was there for all but 3 hours. But at least I completed my helpsheet. At least the main part of it. Compacted (pun intended) the rest of my lecture notes into this:



and the reverse side is this:



Well, compactness is an important idea in topology; hence the title of this post. Won't go into what compactness is, but having spent half the course on this, I'm pretty sure it has to be a central concept in topology. Basically, an object in topology that is compact has got some nice properties.

Anyway, visited my cousin in hospital this morning, she just gave birth! (AT LAST!) Took quite a number of pictures, but won't put them in my flickr for privacy reasons. I really think that life is amazing. Too bad I'm not a biologist. But still, I see the amazing beauty in life. Are we here on earth due to a series of chances? Or as a product of millions of years of evolution? I don't think so, and I don't believe in evolution at all. Which is a rarity for science based people; those who "need proof" of everything.

But yeah, life is beautiful. Something which we must treasure and spend the time given to us wisely. The trip to the hospital was certain the highlight of a very depressing time in my life. New life. How much more amazing can that be?
