A New Bridge: How Manifolds Link Infinity with Computer Science
Introduction: A Concept That Reframed Space In the mid-19th century, the mathematician Bernhard Riemann began rethinking space itself. His idea of a manifold — a shape that locally resembles familiar Euclidean space but can twist and warp in surprising ways — opened a new way to understand geometry, physics, and beyond. While the term may…

A New Bridge Links the Strange Math of Infinity to Computer Science
Introduction: A timeless bridge In the annals of mathematics, few ideas have traveled as far from their birthplace as the concept of a manifold. Born from Bernhard Riemann’s mid-19th century revolution in geometry, manifolds provide a flexible way to understand spaces that bend, twist, and curve in higher dimensions. Today, a new bridge is being…
