Abide by Reason reviews the hierarchy of spaces for students who know vectors and dot products but have not yet seen how these structures generalize to pure topology.

Definition of a Topological Space via Open Sets

06:00

Abide by Reason formalizes the notion of a topological space for learners who have seen neighborhoods and open intervals on (\mathbb{R}) but not the abstract definition.

Abide by Reason illustrates concrete examples of topologies for students who benefit from finite, combinatorial pictures before thinking about infinite spaces.

Topology as Minimal Structure for Convergence and Continuity

Abide by Reason explains why topological spaces matter for viewers wondering what is gained by stripping away metrics and norms.
