Topology, known as "rubber sheet math," is a field of mathematics that concerns those properties of an object that remain the same even when the object is stretched and squashed.

In his tribute to Revolutionary War sites in New York City, Dave also pay tribute to contemporary New York, the eastern terminus of the Lincoln Highway in New York City, and the New York tradition of Lombardi's pizza. Beginning at the Shrine to Liberty on Long Island, Dave recalls how their overnight retreat and the dense fog that descended saved Washington's troops. Dave explains that prisoners of war were kept in horrible conditions on ships in the Hudson River and that 20,000 of the 30,000 Hessian troops hired to supplement the British army died from unsanitary conditions, rather than battle wounds. The defeat at Fort Washington is followed by the Battle of Harlem Heights that renews the faith of Americans that they can win the war against the British.

Global 3000 is Deutsche Welle's weekly magazine that explores the intersection of global development and the environmental and social conditions of the diverse cultures of the world. In each program, host Michaela Kufner presents three to four video-rich segments that profile a different part of the planet where man's quest for economic and industrial strength is jeopardizing the ecosystems and the social and economic structures of people thousands of miles away. The program not only documents where those struggles are taking place - but how some groups and individuals are finding solutions to the growing problems of global development.
