  PlanetMath: planar graph
A planar graph is a graph which can be drawn on a plane (a flat 2-d surface) or on a sphere, with no edges crossing.
Every graph drawn on a sphere can be drawn on a plane (puncture the sphere in the interior of any one of the countries) and vice versa.

  Homeomorphism Summary
Roughly speaking, a topological space is a geometric object and the homeomorphism is a continuous stretching and bending of the object into a new shape.
Thus, a square and a circle are homeomorphic.
Intuitively, a homeomorphism maps points in the first object that are "close together" to points in the second object that are close together, and points in the first object that are not close together to points in the second object that are not close together.

An intensively studied subject in the theory of graphs is the colouring of planar graphs (cf.
Graph colouring); for non-planar graphs one studies various numerical characteristics yielding the degree of non-planarity, including the genus, the thickness or coarseness of the graph, the number of crossings, etc. (cf.

Graph theory is the branch of mathematics that examines the properties of graphs.
Informally, a graph is a set of objects called vertices (or nodes) connected by links called edges (or arcs), which can also have associated directions.
Typically, a graph is depicted as a set of dots (i.e., vertices) connected by lines (i.e., edges), with an arrowhead on a line representing a directed arc.

 -edge-coloured graphs and 3-manifolds
The homeomorphism problem on 3-manifolds attracts mathematicians since the beginnings of 20-th century.
The most developed part of a combinatorial approach is knot theory based on a well-known fact that any 3-manifold can be constructed as a branched cover over the 3-sphere, where the set of branch points forms a knot.
We first introduce a combinatorial counterpart of the classical homeomorphism problem on 3-manifolds using a theory built by Pezzana and his successors.

 Mathematics
Nonetheless mathematics is often imagined to be (as far as its formal content) nothing but set theory in some axiomatization, in the sense that every mathematical statement or proof could be cast into formulas within set theory.
An important field in applied mathematics is statistics, which uses probability theory as a tool and allows the description, analysis, and prediction of phenomena where chance plays a role.
However, theorems are elements of formal theories, and in some cases computers can generate proofs of these theorems more or less automatically, by means of automated theorem provers.

Georg Cantor, the inventor of set theory, had begun to study the theory of point sets in Euclidean space, in the later part of the 19th century, as part of his study of Fourier series.
Formally, a homeomorphism is defined as a continuous bijection with a continuous inverse, which is not terribly intuitive even to one who knows what the words in the definition mean.
In pointless topology one considers instead the lattice of open sets as the basic notion of the theory, while Grothendieck topologies are certain structures defined on arbitrary categories which allow the definition of sheaves on those categories, and with that the definition of quite general cohomology theories.

Knot theory is a branch of algebraic topology where one studies what is known as the placement problem, or the embedding of one topological space into another.
Most of knot theory concerns only tame knots, and these are the only knots examined here.
Also, the right and left handed versions of the trefoil are only equivalent if the homeomorphism mapping one into the other includes a reflection (other knots, such as the Figure-8 knot are equivalent to their mirror images, these knots are known as achiral knots).

 2-4. Series-Parallel Experiment
Although it is intuitively understood that a graph having parallel elements turns to be a non-Hamiltonian graph, the concept of series-parallel homeomorphism cited in Graph Theory cannot separate non-Hamiltonian graph from Hamiltonian graph, then we developed such conversion method to judge Hamiltonial homeomorphism.
If a reduced graph obtained in such way is one of the case bellow, the original graph is a non-Hamiltonian graph.
In the case that 3 determined branches are disposed on the graph dispersively, it is considered that a graph obtained by series-parallel experiment comes to be one of the 6 kinds of primitive letter graphs below.

 Alternative Axiomatic Set Theories (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
The theory of isomorphism classes of well-founded extensional relations with a top element looks like the theory of (an initial segment of) the usual cumulative hierarchy, because every set in Zermelo-style set theory is uniquely determined by the isomorphism type of the restriction of the membership relation to its transitive closure.
In this theory, the class of natural numbers (considered as finite ordinals) is not closed and acquires an extra element "at infinity" (which happens to be the closure of the class of natural numbers itself).
The theories motivated by essentially different views of the realm of mathematics (the constructive theories and the theories which support nonstandard analysis) we set to one side.
