3Geospatial topology — Topology In a Geographic Information System GIS, topology is a set of rules which define the relationship between points, lines, and polygons. ESRI enables topology generation within their geodatabase feature classes. Network topology explores… …

5Geometry and topology — In mathematics, geometry and topology is an umbrella term for geometry and topology, as the line between these two is often blurred, most visibly in local to global theorems in Riemannian geometry, and results like the Gauss–Bonnet theorem and… …
6Differential topology — In mathematics, differential topology is the field dealing with differentiable functions on differentiable manifolds. It is closely related to differential geometry and together they make up the geometric theory of differentiable manifolds.… …
7Glossary of topology — This is a glossary of some terms used in the branch of mathematics known as topology. Although there is no absolute distinction between different areas of topology, the focus here is on general topology. The following definitions are also… …
8Long line (topology) — In topology, the long line (or Alexandroff line) is a topological space analogous to the real line, but much longer. Because it behaves locally just like the real line, but has different large scale properties, it serves as one of the basic… …
9Coarse structure — Coarse space redirects here. For the use of coarse space in numerical analysis, see coarse problem. In the mathematical fields of geometry and topology, a coarse structure on a set X is a collection of subsets of the cartesian product X × X with… …
10Algebraic topology — is a branch of mathematics which uses tools from abstract algebra to study topological spaces. The basic goal is to find algebraic invariants that classify topological spaces up to homeomorphism. In many situations this is too much to hope for… …
