Question of the Day
Is Earth a ball or a donut?

Equivalence by Distortion
Two objects are equivalent by distortion if we can stretch, shrinking, bend, or twist one, without cutting or gluing, and deform in into the other.

What is a Torus?
A torus is the boundary of a doughnut.
![Page 5: Section 5.1 Rubber Sheet Geometry Discovering the Topological Idea of Equivalence by Distortion. “The whole of mathematics is nothing more than a refinement](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f325503460f94c4ee44/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Is a torus a sphere?
Why or why not?
Can you prove they are, or are not, equivalent by distortion?

The Euler Characteristic Theorem
For any connected graph in the plane,
V – E + F = 2,
where V is the number of vertices, E is the number of edges, and F is the number of regions.

Question of the Day
What is the temperature on the other side of the world?
![Page 35: Section 5.1 Rubber Sheet Geometry Discovering the Topological Idea of Equivalence by Distortion. “The whole of mathematics is nothing more than a refinement](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f325503460f94c4ee44/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Brouwer Fixed Point TheoremSuppose two disks of the same size, one red and one blue, are initially
placed so that the red disk is exactly on top of the blue disk.
If the red disk is stretched, shrunken, rotated, folded, or distored in any way without cutting and then placed back on top of the blue disk in such a manner that it does not hang off the blue disk, then there must be at least one point on the red disk that is fixed.
That is, there must be at least one point on the red disk that is in the exact same position as it was when the red disk was originally on top of the blue one.

The Meteorology Theorem
At every instant, there are two diametrically opposite places on Earth with identical temperatures and identical barometric pressures.

The Hot Loop Theorem
If we have a circle of variably heated wire, then there is a pair of opposite points at which the temperatures are exactly the same.
