Homology and the Euler characteristic
Counting holes in every dimension with chain complexes.
Homology groups H₀, H₁, H₂ count connected pieces, tunnels and voids; their alternating ranks give the Euler characteristic, the same V − E + F from graph theory. Picture it: the cube: 8 − 12 + 6 = 2, like the sphere it can be inflated into. Think it: the boundary of a boundary is zero, ∂² = 0, and that one identity generates the whole theory.

What does the fundamental group measure?
Loops in a space up to deformation. In a plane every loop shrinks to a point (trivial group); around a hole a loop can wind n times (the integers).
