About this listen

 A friendly tour of manifolds: how zooming in reveals flat space, how charts and transition maps stitch patches on curved spaces like the Earth, and how tangent spaces and metrics let us do calculus and physics on curved spacetime. From circles to spheres to general relativity, this episode unpacks one of math’s most powerful ideas. Brought to you by Embersilk (embersilk.com).
