Homeomorphism and topological invariants
When two spaces are "the same", and what numbers survive stretching.
A homeomorphism is a continuous bijection with continuous inverse. Invariants (number of components, Euler characteristic V − E + F, number of holes) are the same for homeomorphic spaces, so differing invariants prove two spaces differ. Picture it: the sphere (χ = 2) against the torus (χ = 0). Think it: algebraic topology is the systematic manufacture of such invariants.

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.
