Homotopy colimit and limitIn mathematics, especially in algebraic topology, the homotopy limit and colimitpg 52 are variants of the notions of and colimit extended to the homotopy category . The main idea is this: if we have a diagramconsidered as an object in the , (where the homotopy equivalence of diagrams is considered pointwise), then the homotopy limit and colimits then correspond to the and coconewhich are objects in the homotopy category , where is the category with one object and one morphism.
Category (mathematics)In mathematics, a category (sometimes called an abstract category to distinguish it from a ) is a collection of "objects" that are linked by "arrows". A category has two basic properties: the ability to compose the arrows associatively and the existence of an identity arrow for each object. A simple example is the , whose objects are sets and whose arrows are functions. is a branch of mathematics that seeks to generalize all of mathematics in terms of categories, independent of what their objects and arrows represent.

Une carte géographique est une représentation d'un espace géographique. Elle met en valeur l'étendue de cet espace, sa localisation relative par rapport aux espaces voisins, ainsi que la localisation des éléments qu'il contient.
