Unsurprisingly its character has changed over the last century—there is considerably less current interest in general topology, but whole new areas have emerged, such as topological data analysis to help analyze big data sets. The Epilogue concludes that the interfaces of topology with other areas have remained rich and numerous, and it can be hard telling where topology stops and geometry or algebra or analysis or physics begin. Often that richness comes from studying structures that have interconnected flavours of algebra, geometry, and topology, but sometimes a result, seemingly of an entirely algebraic nature say, can be proved by purely topological means.","PeriodicalId":169406,"journal":{"name":"Topology: A Very Short Introduction","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114591948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But even generally continuity requires that we can constrain the difference in outputs by suitably constraining the difference in inputs. ‘The plane and other spaces’ asks more general questions such as ‘is the distance a car has travelled a continuous function of its speed?’ This is a subtle question as neither the input nor output are numbers, but rather functions of time, with input the speed function s(t) and output the distance function d(t). In answering the question, it considers continuity between metric spaces, equivalent metrics, open sets, convergence, and compactness and connectedness, the last two being topological invariants that can be used to differentiate between spaces.","PeriodicalId":169406,"journal":{"name":"Topology: A Very Short Introduction","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123657349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Being simple and closed means the curve does not cross itself except that its end returns to its start. All knots are topologically the same as a circle; what makes a circle knotted—or not—is how that circle has been placed into 3D space. The central problem of knot theory is a classification theorem: when is there an ambient isotopy between two knots or how do we show that no such isotopy exists? Key elements of knot theory are discussed, including the three Reidemeister moves, prime knots, adding knots, and the Alexander and Jones polynomials.","PeriodicalId":169406,"journal":{"name":"Topology: A Very Short Introduction","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132995695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It discusses closed surfaces—ones without a boundary—and how they can be divided up into vertices, edges, and faces. It then introduces one-sided surfaces such as the Möbius strip and Klein bottle, which are examples of non-orientable surfaces. The Euler number goes a long way to separating out different surfaces, with the only missing ingredient in the classification the notion of orientability.","PeriodicalId":169406,"journal":{"name":"Topology: A Very Short Introduction","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133758013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The word topology—meaning ‘the study of place’—was not coined until 1836. ‘What is topology?’ aims to provide a sense of topology’s ideas and its technical vocabulary. It discusses the concepts of letters being topologically the same or homeomorphic and then moves on to Euler’s formula, which shows that there are only five Platonic solids: tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. Early problems in topology included defining what dimension means and point-set topology, which sought to address what it means to be a set or to be a space.","PeriodicalId":169406,"journal":{"name":"Topology: A Very Short Introduction","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124117278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Geometric topology concerned surfaces and grew out of the work of Euler, Möbius, Riemann, and others. General topology was more analytical and foundational in nature; Hausdorff was its most significant progenitor and its growth mirrored other fundamental work being done in set theory. The chapter introduces the hairy ball theorem, and the work of great French mathematician and physicist Henri Poincaré, which has been rigorously advanced over the last century, making algebraic topology a major theme of modern mathematics.","PeriodicalId":169406,"journal":{"name":"Topology: A Very Short Introduction","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116558140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
