I began to learn topology with respect to sagemath. I am confused by product function.
sage: S = SimplicialComplex([[0,1],[1,2]])
sage: W = SimplicialComplex([[0,1]])
sage: T = S.product(W)
T
Simplicial complex with 6 vertices and 4 facetswhy this has 4 facets.Can give me detailed calculation process？
S consists of two 1-simplices: two edges. W is a single edge. Their product, therefore, consists of two squares: [0,1] x [0,1] and [1,2] x [0,1]. If you triangulate the squares by drawing diagonals on each one, you get four triangles. Those are the four facets in S.product(W).
Thanks，Where can I learn the definition of the facet，can give me some advice for books？
If you run T.facets?, you will get documentation, the first line of which is "The maximal faces (a.k.a. facets) of this simplicial complex.". The facets are the maximal simplices.
