Welcome to Pieces of Mathematics!

In this blog you will find presentations of well-known mathematical concepts, often with historical notes, definitions, exercises and problems with solutions as well as other mathematical topics.

In the Defined Piece by Piece series, I try to explain essential math concepts in very small bites. Each post focuses on a specific idea, presented in a (hopefully) straightforward style. As the name suggests, this series is intended to make math accessible and easy to follow, regardless of the readership’s background, and to help build a solid understanding of the definitions covered piece by piece.

This blog is intended to be a source of content for educational purposes.

I am Francesco Macrì, a math enthusiast, studying the subject and blogging about it in my spare time.
