Morse Theory
An exact sequence is a sequence of mathematical objects (like groups, modules, or vector spaces) and morphisms (maps between them) such that the image of one morphism is equal to the kernel of the next. This concept is crucial for understanding relationships between algebraic structures and is especially relevant in topology, where it helps connect different homology groups. In the context of Morse inequalities, exact sequences can reveal important insights about the relationships between critical points of a function and their contributions to topology.
congrats on reading the definition of Exact Sequence. now let's actually learn it.
