Bible | Net in use among the Hebrews for fishing, hunting, and fowling. The fishing-net was probably constructed after the form of that used by the Egyptians (Isa. 19:8). There were three kinds of nets. (1.) The drag-net or hauling-net (Gr. sagene), of great size, and requiring many men to work it. It was usually let down from the fishing-boat, and then drawn to the shore or into the boat, as circumstances might require (Matt. 13:47, 48). (2.) The hand-net or casting-net (Gr. amphiblestron), which was thrown from a rock or a boat at any fish that might be seen (Matt. 4:18; Mark 1:16). It was called by the Latins funda. It was of circular form, "like the top of a tent." (3.) The bag-net (Gr. diktyon), used for enclosing fish in deep water (Luke 5:4-9). The fowling-nets were (1) the trap, consisting of a net spread over a frame, and supported by a stick in such a way that it fell with the slightest touch (Amos 3:5, "gin;" Ps. 69:22; Job 18:9; Eccl. 9:12). (2) The snare, consisting of a cord to catch birds by the leg (Job 18:10; Ps. 18:5; 116:3; 140:5). (3.) The decoy, a cage filled with birds as decoys (Jer. 5:26, 27). Hunting-nets were much in use among the Hebrews. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |

National Educational Television ("NET") was an educational television network in the USA from 1952 until 1969. It was the predecessor of PBS.NET was founded in 1952 by a grant from the Ford Foundation. Originally it was a limited service for exchanging and distributing educational programs produced by local television stations to other stations. In 1954 it expanded its goals, becoming a network and airing 5 hours of programing a day. Early on many of the stations were not linked by coaxial cable, and much of the programing was shipped on film. The programing was noted for treating subjects in depth, including hour long interviews with people of literary and historical importance. The programing was also noted for being dry and accademic, with little consideration given to entertainment value, in marked contrast to commercial television. Many of the shows were designed as adult education, and NET was nicknamed "The University of the Air".
In 1958 National Educational Television headquarters was moved from Ann Arbor, Michigan to New York City, and more aggressive programming was undertaken to secure for NET the role of the USA's fourth television network (with CBS, NBC, and ABC). At this time NET also started importing programing from the BBC.
In 1968 the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Ford Foundation threaten to withdraw it's funding to the NET network if they did not merge with Newark, New Jersey public broadcaster WNDT-TV Channel 13 (Now WNET-TV) and so in the beginning of 1969 NET and WNDT-TV completed their merger and the National Educational Television Network permanently signed off the air and was replaced with the more government friendly Public Broadcasting Service which featured former NET programming such as Sesame Street and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.

- In computing, the word net is sometimes used to mean trapping device or network.
- The Net (or the 'net) is a synonym for Internet. A fiction film The Net, a sort of horror movie about the Internet, was produced in the mid 1990s.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In topology, the concept of a net is a generalization of that of a sequence, intended to unify the various notions of limit and generalize them to arbitrary topological spaces. Limits of nets accomplish for all topological spaces what limits of sequences accomplish for spaces satisfying the first axiom of countability.
Definition and examples
If X is a topological space, a net in X is a function from some directed set A to X.
Since the natural numbers with the normal order form a directed set, this definition includes all sequences among the nets. Other examples arise from real functions: suppose x0 is a real number and f : R − {x0} -> R is a function. The set A = R − {x0} can be directed towards x0 (see directed set for an explanation), and the function then turns into a net.
If A is a directed set, we often write a net from A to X in the form (xα), which expresses the fact that the element α in A is mapped to the element xα in X. We usually use <= to denote the binary relation given on A.
Limits of nets
If (xα) is a net in the topological space X, and x is an element of X, we say that the net converges towards x or has limit x and write
if and only if
- lim xα = x
Intuitively, this means that the values xα come and stay as close as we want to x for large enough α.
- for every neighborhood U of x there exists an α0 in A such that whenever α0 <= α, we have xα in U.
The three most frequently seen examples of limits of nets
These are:
- Limits of sequences.
- Limits of functions of a real variable: limx → c f(x).
- Limits of nets of Riemann sums, in the definition of the Riemann integral. In this example, the directed set is the set of partitions of the interval of integration, partially ordered by inclusion. A similar thing is done in the definition of the Riemann-Stieltjes integral.
Properties
Virtually all concepts of topology can be rephrased in the language of nets and limits. This may be useful to guide the intuition since the notion of limit of a net is very similar to that of limit of a sequence, which is widely used in the theory of metric spaces.
A function f : X -> Y between topological spaces is continuous at the point x if and only if for every net (xα) with
we have
- lim xα = x
Note that this theorem is in general not true if we replace "net" by "sequence". We have to allow for more directed sets than just the natural numbers if X is not first-countable.
- lim f(xα) = f(x).
In general, a net in a space X can have more that one limit, but if X is a Hausdorff space, the limit of a net, if it exists, is unique.
If U is a subset of X, then x is in the closure of U if and only if there exists a net (xα) with limit x and such that xα is in U for all α. In particular, U is closed if and only if, whenever (xα) is a net with elements in U and limit x, then x is in U.
If (xα)α in A is a net in X with underlying directed set (A, <=), and B is a subset of A such that for every α in A there exists a β in B with α <= β, the net (xβ)β in B is called a subnet of the original net.
A net has a limit if and only if every subnet has a limit. In that case, every limit of the net is also a limit of every subnet.
A space X is compact if and only if every net (xα) in X has a subnet with a limit in X. This can be seen as a generalization of the theorems of Bolzano-Weierstrass and Heine-Borel.
In a metric space or uniform space, one can speak of Cauchy nets in much the same way as Cauchy sequences. The concept even generalises to Cauchy spaces.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A wide variety of systems of interconnected components are called networks. Specific examples include:
General-purpose mathematical models of network structures and associated algorithms have been developed in graph theory.
- transport networks,
- roads,
- railroads,
- shipping routes and
- airlines,
- pipelines (gas, petroleum, water, sewage),
- electric circuits - a network of electrical components.
- electricity networks (electric power - generation, transmission and distribution.)
- social and/or business networks. (studied in, say, sociology)
- criminal networks
- telecommunications networks
- computer networks, which transfer information between computers. (Specific configurations include star networks and grid networks.) The Internet is a large-scale computer network. Also, a website and the whole World Wide Web are networks of webpages, a link web.
- public switched telephone networks, which route audio signals from one telephone to another
- radio networks, which create and distribute radio programming
- television networks, which create and distribute television programming
- financial networks.
- network externality in economics
Networks can be characterized in a number of different ways. For example, many networks are Scale-free networks, in which a few network nodes act as "very connected" hubs.
Network is also an Academy Award-winning film.
