Topology

Definition of Topology as it relates to Science, Mathematics, Geometry

Topology is the study of spatial properties and spatial relations unaffected by continuous change, such as stretching or bending, but not tearing or gluing. It revolves around the concepts of connectedness, continuity, and neighborhood. In the hierarchy of Science/Mathematics/Geometry, Topology focuses on how geometric objects can be deformed without changing their essential properties. This field has broad applications in various scientific disciplines, including physics and biology, as it helps to understand and model complex systems with a focus on shape and form.
