This booklet is the 1st one in all a piece in numerous volumes, treating the historical past of the advance of topology.
The paintings comprises papers which might be labeled into four major parts. therefore there are contributions facing the existence and paintings of person topologists, with particular colleges of topology, with examine in topology in a variety of international locations, and with the improvement of topology in several classes. The paintings isn't really limited to topology within the strictest experience but in addition bargains with purposes and generalisations in a huge feel. therefore it additionally treats, e.g., express topology, interactions with practical research, convergence areas, and uniform areas. Written by means of experts within the box, it features a wealth of knowledge which isn't to be had anyplace else.

Time and Eternity: The Medieval Discourse

This quantity consists of chosen papers from the most strand, ? Time and Eternity? , on the 7th foreign Medieval Congress held in July 2000 at Leeds. It attests to the truth that the medieval adventure of time and eternity was once wealthy and complicated, and that its research is open to numerous methods and techniques.

Now introduce, for every x EX Dx = {A: x E A'}. Then (0:), ({3), ('"'() are equivalent to the very simple statement: for all x E X, Dx is a grill and consists only of non-principal ultrafilters. Dx = 0 is possible. If Dx i- 0 Riesz called x a principal element. We shall call Dx the cluster grill at x. Hilbert had introduced a spatial structure in terms of neighborhoods in 1902. Riesz realized that, (Dx) is a family of neighborhoods. In our terminology ,(Dx) is the filter of deleted neighborhoods.

MOORE 43 Introduction There is a considerable body of literature dealing largely or in part with the life, work, teaching, influence, and legacy of R. L. Moore. This article will supply for the interested reader a list of such writings.

So Vietoris develops in parallel today's theory of convergence for generalized set sequences (nets) and filter bases through comparison with the directed set of neighbourhoods. After G. Birkhoff reinvented the filter base notion in 1935 [4], J. Schmidt wrote in his 1953 work "Beitrage zur Filtertheorie II"(dedicated to Prof. Vietoris) [16], but without mentioning that also directed sets and nets can already be found in Vietoris [24]: "The history of the filter obviously shows features similar to other human inventions.
