Topology

Open sets, continuity, compactness, connectedness: geometry without distance.

Lesse

What survives when you are allowed to stretch but not tear. Topology makes "nearby" precise without a ruler, and its invariants (connected pieces, holes) are the coarsest and most robust things a space has.

Simbools wat hier gebruik word

Maak enige simbool van die volledige definisie,'n prent en wat elke letter daarin beteken.

Vrae wat mense vra

Why "a doughnut is a coffee cup"?

Each can be deformed into the other without cutting or gluing: one hole each. Topology studies exactly the properties such deformations preserve.

What is compactness for?

It is the property that makes "every sequence has a convergent subsequence" and "continuous functions attain their maximum" true. On the real line it means closed and bounded.
