	Topology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Topology (Greek topos, place and logos, study) is a branch of mathematics concerned with the study of topological spaces.
		Topology is concerned with the study of the so-called topological properties of figures, that is to say, properties that do not change under bicontinuous one-to-one transformations (called homeomorphisms).
		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.

		In architecture, topology is a term used to describe spatial effects which can not be described by topography, i.e., social, economical, spatial or phenomenological interactions.
		In mathematics, topology is a branch concerned with the study of topological spaces.
		Wiring and computer network topologies are discussed in network topology.) Roughly speaking, topology is the study of geometric objects without considering their dimensions.

		The Zariski topology is a purely algebraically defined topology on the spectrum of a ring or an algebraic variety.
		In topology and related fields of mathematics, a discrete space is a particularly simple example of a topological space or similar structure, one in which the points are isolated from each other in a certain sense.
		In topology and related branches of mathematics, a topological space X is said to be disconnected if it is the union of two disjoint nonempty open sets.

		Topology (Greek topos = place and logos = word) is a branch of mathematics concerned with the study of topological spaces.
		The term "topologie" was introduced in German in 1847 by Johann Benedict Listing (1808-1882) in "Vorstudien zur Topologie," Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht, Göttingen, pp.
		"Topology", its English form, was introduced in print by Solomon Lefschetz in 1930 to replace the earlier name "analysis situs." The separate status of the topologist, a specialist in topology, was probably established from around 1920.

		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.
		In topology, a number, polynomial, or other quantity associated to a topological object such as a knot or 3-manifold which depends only on the underlying object and not on its specific description or presentation.
		In topology, the terms circle and sphere refer to topological objects and not geometric ones, so that the surface of an egg shape is a sphere.

		Compact-open topology The compact-open topology on the set C(X,Y) of all continuous maps between two spaces X and Y is defined as follows: given a compact subsetK of X and an open subset U of Y, let V(K, U) denote the set ofall maps f in C(X, Y) such that f(K) is contained in U.

	Definition: network topology
		Note 1: Two networks have the same topology if the connection configuration is the same, although the networks may differ in physical interconnections, distances between nodes, transmission rates, and/or signal types.
		star topology: A network topology in which peripheral nodes are connected to a central node, which rebroadcasts all transmissions received from any peripheral node to all peripheral nodes on the network, including the originating node.
		tree topology: A network topology that, from a purely topologic viewpoint, resembles an interconnection of star networks in that individual peripheral nodes are required to transmit to and receive from one other node only, toward a central node, and are not required to act as repeaters or regenerators.
