Lee, You do seem to be on the list. If everyone apologized for nearly content-free posts, the number of nearly content-free posts would be greatly multiplied.
The word manifold is certainly not being used in its mathematical sense when Epping Forest is called a manifold. I think it means a collective noun there, so that "all this" means the collection of all this, not the individual components of all this. Still, I would be interested in what you have to say. --John ________________________________________ From: lrudo...@black.clarku.edu [lrudo...@black.clarku.edu] Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2009 12:49 PM To: friam@redfish.com; nickthomp...@earthlink.net Cc: John Kennison Subject: Re: [FRIAM] "manifold" in mathematics On 5 Aug 2009 at 10:37, Nicholas Thompson wrote: > There is a topologist on the list (at least one) Before attempting a substantive reply to this post, I am going to try posting to the list to see if I *am* indeed on the list. John, do you know for sure that you are on the list? If not, you might try the same...
