At the very heart of mathematics lies an object both simple and profound and mysterious, which is also full of connections with other areas of the subject. In this video I introduce a way of thinking about this central object (which I refer to as a "lattice" but more technically correct would be to call it a "meet semi-lattice") and give a loose informal description of some of its many links with various topics in pure mathematics. *********************** My research papers can be found at my Research Gate page, at https://www.researchgate.net/profile/...My blog is at http://njwildberger.com/, where I will discuss lots of foundational issues, along with other things. Online courses are being developed at openlearning.com. The first one, already underway, is Algebraic Calculus One at https://www.openlearning.com/courses/...
