Answer

Again, remember a function is just a vector with infinite length, and a topology for the notion of proximity and continuity.

python - What does if __name__ == &quot;__main__&quot;: do? - Stack Overflow
add a comment | up vote 1313 down vote <span>When your script is run by passing it as a command to the Python interpreter, python myscript.py all of the code that is at indentation level 0 gets executed. Functions and classes that are defined are, well, defined, but none of their code gets run. Unlike other languages, there's no main() function that gets run automatically - the main() function is implicitly all the code at the top level. In this case, the top-level code is an if block. __name__ is a built-in variable which evaluates to the name of the current module. However, if a module is being run directly (as in myscript.py above), then __name__ instead is set to the string "__main__" . Thus, you can test whether your script is being run directly or being imported by something else by testing if __name__ == "__main__": ... If your script is being imported into another module, its various function and class definitions will be imported and its top-level code will be executed, but the code in the then-body of the if clause above won't get run as the condition is not met. As a basic example, consider the following two scripts: # file one.py def func(): print("func() in one.py") print("top-level in one.py") if __name__ == "__main__": print("one.py is being run di

#mathematical-structures

Homomorphism - an algebraical term for a function preserving some algebraic operations. For a group homomorphism ϕ ϕ \phi we have ϕ ( a b ) = ϕ ( a ) ϕ ( b ) ϕ(ab)=ϕ(a)ϕ(b) \phi(ab)=\phi(a)\phi(b) and ϕ ( 1 ) = 1 ϕ(1)=1 \phi(1)=1 , for a ring homomorphism we have additionally ϕ ( a + b ) = ϕ ( a ) + ϕ ( b ) ϕ(a+b)=ϕ(a)+ϕ(b) \phi(a+b) = \phi(a) + \phi(b) and for a vector-space homomorphism also ϕ ( r ⋅ a ) = r ⋅ ϕ ( a ) ϕ(r⋅a)=r⋅ϕ(a) \phi(r\cdot a)=r\cdot\phi(a) , where r r r is a scalar and a a a is a vector.

Isomorphism (in a narrow/algebraic sense) - a homomorphism which is 1-1 and onto. In other words: a homomorphism which has an inverse.

However, homEomorphism is a topological term - it is a continuous function, having a continuous inverse.

In the category theory one defines a notion of a morphism (specific for each category) and then an isomorphism is defined as a morphism having an inverse, which is also a morphism.

With such an approach, morphisms in the category of groups are group homomorphisms and isomorphisms in this category are just group isomorphisms. Similarly for rings, vector spaces etc.

In the category of topological spaces, morphisms are continuous functions, and isomorphisms are homeomorphisms.

Extra remark: A fundamental difference between algebra and topology is that in algebra any morphism (homomorphism) which is 1-1 and onto is an isomorphism - i.e., its inverse is a morphism. In topology it is not true: there are continuous and bijective functions whose inverses are not continuous. That's (one of the reasons) why we like compact Hausdorff topological spaces: for them inverses are always continuous, just like in algebra inverses of homomorphisms are homomorphisms.
