An Overview of Topology

A detailed tutorial on the mathematical study of topology. Step by step tutorial including several examples of topology for reference.

Topology is a study in mathematics that deals with space and spatial properties of objects. There are several different types of topology. The most common topics, called subtopics, are point-set topology, algebraic topology, geometric topology, and low dimensional topology. Topology may be a familiar sounding name to you – doubtless you have heard of a “topographical map,” used in science classes. However, the way the topographic map is created is with the study of math known as topology.
