topology  

Definition

  • In mathematics, topology (from the Greek words τόπος, "place, location", and λόγος, "study") is concerned with the properties of a geometric object that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching, twisting, crumpling, and bending; that is, without closing holes, opening holes, tearing, gluing, or passing through itself.
