Making Sense of Manifolds
Manifolds form the mathematical language behind much of modern physics, from spacetime to fields and symmetries. Yet they are rarely introduced early in formal education. This session offers a gentle introduction to manifolds, starting from basic definitions, proving why a circle qualifies as a one-dimensional manifold and concluding with a discussion of how these ideas quietly underpin physical theories.
