Talk:Winding number

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Stubbiness

I don't think this article should be called a stub anymore. Though there's certainly more to be said about winding numbers, it is mostly in the context of how it's used with other techniques (residue theorem, etc.). The rest of the info should be put in those articles, not in this one.

The most i think this needs is a list of areas where the winding number is used.

[edit] Circle/plane-1 homeomorphism

Surely the circle is not homeomorphic to the plane minus one point, since the circle is compact and the plane minus a point is not. Should this say that they are homotopy equivalent? Martin Orr 13:33, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Right! Fixed now, thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 17:14, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
