Mathematician
A mathematician is someone who uses an extensive knowledge of mathematics in their work, typically to solve mathematical problems. Mathematicians are concerned with numbers, data, quantity, mathematical structure, structure, space, Mathematical model, models, and mathematics#Calculus and analysis, change. History One of the earliest known mathematicians was Thales of Miletus (); he has been hailed as the first true mathematician and the first known individual to whom a mathematical discovery has been attributed. He is credited with the first use of deductive reasoning applied to geometry, by deriving four corollaries to Thales's theorem. The number of known mathematicians grew when Pythagoras of Samos () established the Pythagorean school, whose doctrine it was that mathematics ruled the universe and whose motto was "All is number". It was the Pythagoreans who coined the term "mathematics", and with whom the study of mathematics for its own sake begins. The first woman math ...

Alexander Grothendieck
Alexander Grothendieck, later Alexandre Grothendieck in French (; ; ; 28 March 1928 – 13 November 2014), was a German-born French mathematician who became the leading figure in the creation of modern algebraic geometry. His research extended the scope of the field and added elements of commutative algebra, homological algebra, sheaf theory, and category theory to its foundations, while his so-called Grothendieck's relative point of view, "relative" perspective led to revolutionary advances in many areas of pure mathematics. He is considered by many to be the greatest mathematician of the twentieth century. Grothendieck began his productive and public career as a mathematician in 1949. In 1958, he was appointed a research professor at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, Institut des hautes études scientifiques (IHÉS) and remained there until 1970, when, driven by personal and political convictions, he left following a dispute over military funding. He receive ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

On November 13, 2006, YouTube was purchased by Google for $1.65 billion (equivalent to $ billion in ). Google expanded YouTube's business model of generating revenue from advertisements alone, to offering paid content such as movies and exclusive content produced by and for YouTube.

NLab
The ''n''Lab is a wiki for research-level notes, expositions and collaborative work, including original research, in mathematics, physics, and philosophy, with a focus on methods from type theory, category theory, and homotopy theory. The ''n''Lab espouses the "''n''-point of view" (a deliberate pun on Wikipedia's "neutral point of view") that type theory, homotopy theory, category theory, and higher category theory provide a useful unifying viewpoint for mathematics, physics and philosophy. The ''n'' in ''n''-point of view could refer to either ''n''-categories as found in higher category theory, ''n''-groupoids as found in both homotopy theory and higher category theory, or ''n''-types as found in homotopy type theory. Overview The ''n''Lab was originally conceived to provide a repository for ideas (and even new research) generated in the comments on posts at the ''n''-Category Café, a group blog run (at the time) by John C. Baez, David Corfield and Urs Schreiber. Eventua ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Higher Categories And Homotopical Algebra
' ''Higher Categories and Homotopical Algebra'' is a mathematical textbook about higher category theory by Denis-Charles Cisinksi. It focuses on the theories of model categories and simplicial sets to give access to modern homotopy theory from the perspective of higher categories as described by the works of André Joyal and Jacob Lurie (see ''Higher Topos Theory''). Content ''Higher Categories and Homotopical Algebra'' first introduces the general theory of model categories, which in particular includes the lifting property, co- and contravariant as well as injective and projective model structures, and the general theory of presheaves of sets, which in particular includes simplicial sets. It then concentrates on the model of ∞-categories by quasicategories and ∞-grouppoids by Kan complexes, both of which are special simplicial sets fulfilling certain lifting properties. Based on them, the Joyal and Kan–Quillen model structure on the category of simplicial sets is de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pursuing Stacks
''Pursuing Stacks'' () is an influential 1983 mathematical manuscript by Alexander Grothendieck. It consists of a 12-page letter to Daniel Quillen followed by about 600 pages of research notes. The topic of the work is a generalized homotopy theory using higher category theory. The word "stacks" in the title refers to what are nowadays usually called " ∞-groupoids", one possible definition of which Grothendieck sketches in his manuscript. (The stacks of algebraic geometry, which also go back to Grothendieck, are not the focus of this manuscript.) Among the concepts introduced in the work are derivators and test categories. Some parts of the manuscript were later developed in: * * Overview of manuscript I. The letter to Daniel Quillen Pursuing stacks started out as a letter from Grothendieck to Daniel Quillen. In this letter he discusses Quillen's progress on the foundations for homotopy theory and remarked on the lack of progress since then. He remarks how some of his ...

Higher Category Theory
In mathematics, higher category theory is the part of category theory at a ''higher order'', which means that some equalities are replaced by explicit morphism, arrows in order to be able to explicitly study the structure behind those equalities. Higher category theory is often applied in algebraic topology (especially in homotopy theory), where one studies algebraic Invariant (mathematics), invariants of topological space, spaces, such as the Fundamental groupoid, fundamental . In higher category theory, the concept of higher categorical structures, such as (), allows for a more robust treatment of homotopy theory, enabling one to capture finer homotopical distinctions, such as differentiating two topological spaces that have the same fundamental group but differ in their higher homotopy groups. This approach is particularly valuable when dealing with spaces with intricate topological features, such as the Eilenberg-MacLane space. Strict higher categories An ordinary category (m ...
