| Oct 28, 2010 at 18:48 | comment | added | The Mathemagician | @gowers Ok,my statement was too nonspecific. I should have wrote,"Everything you know about open and closed intervals from calculus is true under the right conditions;otherwise it's false." | |
| Oct 28, 2010 at 14:17 | comment | added | gowers | One difference is that whereas most linear algebra concepts generalize nicely to, say, Banach spaces, differentiation, perhaps the most basic concept of calculus, doesn't make sense in a topological space. | |

| Oct 28, 2010 at 7:10 | comment | added | The Mathemagician | And he gets 1 point for THIS. Might as well say,"Topology.Everything you know from calculus is true under the right conditionn.Otherwise it's false," I give up......... | |
