- Branch of mathematics that deals with spatial relationships that are preserved under bicontinuous deformation (stretching without tearing or gluing),
- sometimes called rubber-sheet geometry.
- The idea is that some geometric problems do not depend on the exact shape of objects involved, but rather on the way objects are “connected to each other”
- Spaces studied in topology are called topological spaces.
- Elementary topology is often called point-set topology
