Not Just Shape
Topology goes beyond mere shape to consider properties that don't change even when objects are stretched or bent.

The topology course examined how a doughnut and a coffee cup are topologically the same due to one hole.
Academic Field
Topology is a high-level mathematical concept often studied in advanced courses or research.

After completing basic geometry, he advanced to studying topology.
Continuous Transformations
The transformations in topology involve gradually changing an object without cutting or gluing.

Topology is fascinated with how a square and a circle can be continuously transformed into each other.

it can hold fluids. So it's highly -- that one's the cool one. That was a month of my life. But although I would love to talk about topology with you, I'm not going to.

Quote examples
Jacques Lacan
French Psychologist
A geometry implies the heterogeneity of locus, namely that there is a locus of the Other. Regarding this locus of the Other, of one sex as Other, as absolute Other, what does the most recent development in topology allow us to posit?

Quote examples
Edward Witten
American Mathematician
In Einstein's general relativity the structure of space can change but not its topology. Topology is the property of something that doesn't change when you bend it or stretch it as long as you don't break anything.

Quote examples
Whitfield Diffie
American Scientist
I thought of computers as very low class. I thought of myself as a pure mathematician and was interested in partial differential equations and topology and things like that.

Edward Witten
American Mathematician
There was a long history of speculation that in quantum gravity, unlike Einstein's classical theory, it might be possible for the topology of spacetime to change.

Henri Poincare
French Mathematician
Point set topology is a disease from which the human race will soon recover.
