title = "The central role of diagrams in algebraic topology",
abstract = "The great achievement of Cantor and Dedekind in the 19th c. was not the arithmetization of the geometrical line, but rather the use of the notion of set to extend the number system to the reals and the transfinite numbers, and to recast the line as a set of points and numbers systems as sets of numbers: this prepares the ground for the emergence of topology and then algebraic topology in the 20th c. and the novel diagrams that accompany its presentation in the textbook written by Singer and Thorpe.",
