 Atlas (topology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This definition of atlas is exactly analogous to the non-mathematical meaning of atlas.
Each individual map in an atlas of the world gives a neighborhood of each point on the globe that is homeomorphic to the plane.
By definition, a smooth differentiable structure (or differential structure) on a manifold M is such a maximal atlas of charts, all related by smooth coordinate changes on the overlaps.

 Science Online Center - Math - Topology - General_Topology
Thus a general theme in topology is to test the extent to which the axioms force the kind of structure one expects to use and then, as appropriate, introduce other axioms so as to better match the intended application.
Members of the Analytic Topology Research Group at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, are working on a range of topological topics, which include: topology of metric spaces, generalised metric spaces, continua, function spaces, hyperspaces, topological algebra, set theoretic methods in topology, and applications of topology to computer science and the theory of differential equations.
General topology is that branch of pure mathematics that concerns itself with the nature of continuity.

An early result in topology states that every closed 3-manifold (closed meaning that the manifold is finite and connected but has no boundary) has a Heegaard splitting and a resulting description in terms of a Heegaard diagram, which describes how the two handlebodies are glued together.

maximal atlas: an atlas of charts refines another one if it adds charts (in such a way that the overlap functions remain compatible).

 Fiber bundle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, in particular in topology, a fiber bundle (or fibre bundle) is a space which locally looks like a product of two spaces but may possess a different global structure.
Fiber bundles generalize vector bundles, where the main example is the tangent bundle of a manifold.
Since bundles do not in general have globally-defined sections, one of the purposes of the theory is to account for their existence.

 54: General topology
Topology is the study of sets on which one has a notion of "closeness" -- enough to decide which functions defined on it are continuous.
Since the axioms of topology are stated in terms of subsets of X, it should be no surprise that one branch of topology is closely related to set theory, particularly "descriptive set theory".
For example, if we would like to know which spaces might have a topology which is consistent with a metric, we know individual points must be closed; the axiom that this is true (the "T_1" axiom) is but one of a number of separation axioms.

 topology --  Encyclopædia Britannica
Topology, the youngest and most sophisticated branch of geometry, focuses on the properties of geometric objects that remain unchanged upon continuous deformation—shrinking, stretching, and folding, but not tearing.
Basis elements are half-open intervals open on the right—that is, sets of the form [p, q] in which p, q are points of the horizontal line with p to the left of q, each set consisting of p and all points strictly between p and q.

 55: Algebraic topology
Algebraic topology is the study of algebraic objects attached to topological spaces; the algebraic invariants reflect some of the topological structure of the spaces.
Apart from homology groups and their kin, the principal algebraic tool used in topology is the set of homotopy groups of a space, and related concepts; in particular this includes the fundamental group (pi_1(X)) of a space.
The tools of algebraic topology, when developed in isolation or for applications to other fields such as ring theory, give rise to homological algebra and category theory; this is the proper framework for comparing different algebraic tools.
