Abstract
We will show that exact sequences are a basic tool for the following topics: systems of linear equations (linear operator equations), homology and cohomology in topology, the general potential equation in gauge theory; here, Betti numbers are counting the linearly independent constraints for the existence of physical fields on manifolds: Betti numbers are also counting the gauge degrees of freedom of the potentials (modulo cohomology).
