Nullhomotopic Mappings and Contractible Spaces

I am having problems proving this fact. A space X is contractible if and only if every map f:X to Y (Y is arbitrary) is nullhomotopic. Similarly show X is contractible iff ever map f:Y to X is nullhomotopic. In the first case if Y=X then see that the identity map on X is nullhomotopic. But Im not sure how to proceed for th ...continues

Give an example of a space whose fundamental group is non-abelian.

Vector Spaces and Dimensions

Problem 1. Let V be a finite-dimensional complex vector space. Then V is also a vector space over real numbers R. Show that dimV ( over R) = 2*dimV(over complex C). Hint: If B={v1, v2, ..., vn} is a basis of V over C, show that B'={v1, ..., vn, iv1, ... ivn} is a basis of V over R. Problem 2. ( extend problem1) Let L be a f ...continues
