Topología

Topología is a branch of mathematics that studies the properties of shapes and spaces that remain unchanged when they are stretched, bent, or deformed without tearing or gluing. It focuses on the fundamental connections and continuity of objects, rather than precise measurements or angles. Imagine a coffee mug and a donut; topologically, they are similar because each has one hole, and one cannot be transformed into the other without tearing. Topology helps us understand the intrinsic nature of space and forms, applicable in fields like physics, computer science, and biology.
