AlgTop14: The Ham Sandwich theorem and the continuum
In this video we give the Borsuk Ulam theorem: a continuous map from the sphere to the plane takes equal values for some pair of antipodal points. This is then used to prove the Ham Sandwich theorem (you can slice a sandwich with three parts (bread, ham, bread) with a straight planar cut s so that each slice is cut cut in two. Also we give an application to the ontinuum: the plane is different (not homeomorphic) 3 dimensional space.
This is part of a beginner's course on Algebraic Topology, g

Published by the UC Santa Cruz Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems, the 600-page manual covers practical aspects of organic farming and gardening, applied soil science, and social and environmental issues in agriculture. Units contain lecture outlines for instructors and detailed lecture outlines for students, field and laboratory demonstrations, assessment questions, and annotated resource lists. Although much of the material has been developed for field or garden demonstrations
Clifford Winston of the Brookings Institution talks about the ideas in his book, Market Failure vs. Government Failure, with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Winston summarizes a large literature on antitrust, safety regulation and environmental regulation. He finds that government regulation often fails to meet its objectives. While markets are imperfect, so is government. Winston argues that idealized theories of government intervention based on textbook theories of market failure are not the way r

This unit is for designers, engineers, technologists and anyone interested in designing and inventing. It is also for managers and consumers interested in innovation and technical change. The unit will show you how design and innovation can create a more sustainable future. It will also help you understand how innovation comes about and will encourage thinking about environmental and social challenges for the future.
