Why 2017 Was the Year of space

Euclid's Elements contained five postulates that form the

basis for Euclidean geometry. One of these, the parallel
postulate, has been the subject of debate among
mathematicians for many centuries.

A notable property of the projective elliptic geometry is

that for even dimensions, such as the plane, the
geometry is non-orientable.

parametrizes the choices of orientations. This

characterization of orientability extends to orientability
of general vector bundles over M, not just the tangent
bundle.

A complex vector bundle is oriented in a canonical way.

Thus, there is no non-vanishing section of the tangent

bundle of even spheres (this is known as the Hairy ball
theorem).

Consider a simplicial complex with 0-simplices: a, b, c,

and d, 1-simplices: E, F, G, H and I, and the only 2-
simplex is J, which is the shaded region in the figure.
