The Ivy League is a collegiate athletic conference comprising sports teams from eight private institutions ___MASK82___ higher education in the Northeastern United States . The conference name is also commonly used to refer to those eight schools as a group beyond the sports context . The eight institutions are Brown University , Columbia University , Cornell University , Dartmouth College , Harvard University , the University ___MASK82___ Pennsylvania , Princeton University , and Yale University . The term " Ivy League " has connotations ___MASK82___ academic excellence , selectivity in admissions , and social elitism . ___MASK10___ is a municipality with a borough form ___MASK82___ government in Mercer County , New Jersey , United States , that was established in its current form on January 1 , 2013 , through the consolidation ___MASK82___ the Borough ___MASK82___ ___MASK10___ and ___MASK10___ Township . As ___MASK82___ the 2010 United States Census , the municipality ' s population was 28 , 572 , reflecting the former township ' s population ___MASK82___ 16 , 265 , along with the 12 , 307 in the former borough . A stadium ( plural stadiums or stadia ) is a place or venue for ( mostly ) outdoor sports , concerts , or other events and consists ___MASK82___ a field or stage either partly or completely surrounded by a tiered structure designed to allow spectators to stand or sit and view the event . A mathematician is someone who uses an extensive knowledge ___MASK82___ mathematics in his / her work , typically to solve mathematical problems . A research university is a university that expects all its tenured and tenure - track faculty to continuously engage in research , as opposed to merely requiring it as a condition ___MASK82___ an initial appointment or tenure . Such universities can be recognized by their ___MASK96___ focus on innovative research and the prestige ___MASK82___ their ___MASK16___ names . On the one hand , research universities strive to recruit faculty who are the most brilliant minds in their disciplines in the world , and their students enjoy the opportunity to learn from such experts . On the other hand , new students are often disappointed to realize their undergraduate courses at research universities are overly academic and fail to provide vocational training with immediate " real world " applications ; but many employers value degrees from research universities because they know that such coursework develops fundamental skills like critical thinking . ___MASK12___ Stadium , nicknamed " The Big House ", is the football stadium for the University ___MASK82___ ___MASK12___ in Ann Arbor , ___MASK12___ . It is the largest stadium in the United States , the second largest stadium in the world and the 34th largest sports venue . Its official capacity is 107 , 601 , but it has hosted crowds in excess ___MASK82___ 115 , 000 . In topology , an open set is an abstract concept generalizing the idea ___MASK82___ an open interval in the real line . The simplest example is in metric spaces , where open sets can be defined as those sets which contain an open ball around each ___MASK82___ their points ( or , equivalently , a set is open if it doesn ' t contain any ___MASK82___ its boundary points ); however , an open set , in general , can be very abstract : any collection ___MASK82___ sets can be called open , as long as the union ___MASK82___ an arbitrary number ___MASK82___ open sets is open , the intersection ___MASK82___ a finite number ___MASK82___ open sets is open , and the space itself is open . These conditions are very loose , and they allow enormous flexibility in the choice ___MASK82___ open sets . In the two extremes , every set can be open ( called the discrete topology ), or no set can be open but the space itself and the empty set ( the indiscrete topology ). In mathematics , topology ( from the Greek  , " place ", and  , " study ") is concerned with the properties ___MASK82___ space that are preserved under continuous deformations , such as stretching and bending , but not tearing or gluing . This can be studied by considering a collection ___MASK82___ subsets , called open sets , that satisfy certain properties , turning the given set into what is known as a topological space . Important topological properties include connectedness and compactness . Mathematics ( from Greek  " máthma ",  knowledge , study , learning ) is the study ___MASK82___ topics such as quantity ( numbers ), structure , space , and change . There is a range ___MASK82___ views among mathematicians and philosophers as to the exact scope and definition ___MASK82___ mathematics . The University ___MASK82___ Michigan ( U - M , UM , UMich , or U ___MASK82___ M ), frequently referred to simply as " Michigan ," is a public research university in Ann Arbor , Michigan , United States . Founded in 1817 in Detroit as the " Catholepistemiad ", or University ___MASK82___ Michigania , 20 years before the Michigan Territory became a state , the University ___MASK82___ Michigan is the state ' s oldest university . In 1821 , the university was officially renamed the University ___MASK82___ Michigan . It moved to Ann Arbor in 1837 onto ___MASK82___ what is now known as Central Campus . Since its establishment in Ann Arbor , the university campus has expanded to include more than 584 major buildings with a combined area ___MASK82___ more than spread out over a Central Campus and North Campus , two satellite campuses in Flint and Dearborn , and a ___MASK56___ in Detroit . The University was a founding member ___MASK82___ the Association ___MASK82___ American Universities . In mathematics , connectedness is used to refer to various properties meaning , in some sense , " all one piece ". When a mathematical object has such a property , we ___MASK3___ it is connected ; otherwise it is disconnected . When a disconnected object can be ___MASK81___ naturally into connected pieces , each piece is usually called a " component " ( or " connected component "). ___MASK77___ is a city in the U . S . state ___MASK82___ Michigan and the county seat ___MASK82___ Washtenaw County . The 2010 census recorded its population to be 113 , 934 , making it the sixth largest city in Michigan . The city ' s population was estimated at 117 , 070 as ___MASK82___ July 2015 by the U . S . Census Bureau . The ___MASK77___ Metropolitan Statistical Area ( MSA ) includes all ___MASK82___ Washtenaw County , which had a population ___MASK82___ 344 , 791 as ___MASK82___ 2010 . The city is also part ___MASK82___ the larger Detroit  ___MASK77___  Flint , MI Combined Statistical Area ( CSA ) with a population ___MASK82___ 5 , 318 , 744 . Sumner Byron Myers ( February 19 , 1910 -- October 8 , 1955 ) was an American mathematician specialized in topology . He studied at ___MASK6___ University under H . C . Marston Morse , where he was graduated with a Ph . D . in 1932 . Myers then pursued postdoctoral studies at Princeton University ( 1934 -- 1936 ) before becoming a professor for mathematics at the University ___MASK82___ Michigan , where an award for outstanding students ___MASK82___ mathematics has been named in his honor . He died unexpectedly from a heart attack during the 1955 Michigan -- Army football game at Michigan Stadium . A mathematical problem is a problem that is amenable to being represented , analyzed , and possibly solved , with the methods ___MASK82___ mathematics . This can be a real - world problem , such as computing the orbits ___MASK82___ the planets in the solar system , or a problem ___MASK82___ a more abstract nature , such as Hilbert ' s problems .< br > It can also be a problem referring to the nature ___MASK82___ mathematics itself , such as Russell ' s Paradox . ___MASK89___ is a city in ___MASK63___ , Massachusetts , United States , in the ___MASK58___ metropolitan area . ___MASK10___ University is a private Ivy League research university in ___MASK10___ , ___MASK31___ , United States . ___MASK6___ University is a private Ivy League research university in ___MASK89___ , ___MASK61___ , established in 1636 , whose history , influence , and wealth have ___MASK27___ it one ___MASK82___ the world ' s most prestigious universities .
