Topology — (Greek topos , place, and logos , study ) is the branch of mathematics that studies the properties of a space that are preserved under continuous deformations. Topology grew out of geometry, but unlike geometry, topology is not concerned with… … Wikipedia
Topology (disambiguation) — Topology is a branch of mathematics concerned with spatial properties preserved under bicontinuous deformation (stretching without tearing or gluing); these properties are the topological invariants.Topology may also refer to: *Topology, the… … Wikipedia
Computational topology — Algorithmic topology, or computational topology, is a subfield of topology with an overlap with areas of computer science, in particular computational geometry and computational complexity theory. A primary concern of algorithmic topology, as its … Wikipedia
Continuum (topology) — In the mathematical field of point set topology, a continuum (pl continua) is a nonempty compact connected metric space, or less frequently, a compact connected Hausdorff topological space. Continuum theory is the branch of topology devoted to… … Wikipedia
Triangulation (topology) — In mathematics, topology generalizes the notion of triangulation in a natural way as follows: A triangulation of a topological space X is a simplicial complex K , homeomorphic to X , together with a homeomorphism h : K o X . Triangulation is… … Wikipedia
Geometric topology — In mathematics, geometric topology is the study of manifolds and their embeddings. Low dimensional topology, concerning questions of dimensions up to four, is a part of geometric topology.Some examples of topics in geometric topology are… … Wikipedia
