Lecture Description

In this video lecture, Prof. N.J. Wildberger talks about more applications of winding numbers. 

We define the degree of a function from the circle to the circle, and use that to show that there is no retraction from the disk to the circle, the Brouwer fixed point theorem, and a Lemma of Borsuk.
