Extractions: Topology is a branch of pure mathematics, deals with the fundamental properties of abstract spaces. Whereas classical geometry is concerned with measurable quantities, such as angle, distance, area, and so forth, topology is concerned with notations of continuity and relative position. Point-set topology regards geometrical figures as collections of points, with the entire collection often considered a space. Combinatorial or algebraic topology treats geometrical figures as aggregates of smaller building blocks. In general, topologists study properties of spaces that remain unchanged, no matter how the spaces are bent, stretched, shrunk, or twisted. Such transformations of ideally elastic objects are subject only to the condition that nearby points in one space correspond to nearby points in transformed version of that space. Because allowed deformation can be carried out by manipulating a rubber sheet, topology is sometimes known as rubber-sheet geometry. In contrast, cutting, then gluing together parts of a space is bound to fuse two or more points and to separate points once close together. The basic ideas of topology surfaced in the mid-19th century as offshoots of algebra and ANALYTIC GEOMETRY. Now the field is a major mathematical pursuit, with applications ranging from cosmology and particle physics to the geometrical structure of proteins and other molecules of biological interest.

Low Level Standards Bus topology Advantages Disadvantages Star Topology In a star topology, each network device has a home run of cabling back to a network hub, giving each device a separate connection to the network. If there is a problem with a cable, it will generally not affect the rest of the network. The most common cable media in use for star topologies is unshielded twisted pair copper cabling. Category 3 is still found frequently in older installations. It is capable of 10 megabits per second data transfer rate, making it suitable for only 10 BASE T Ethernet. Most new installations use Category 5 cabling. It is capable of data transfer rates of 100 megabits per second, enabling it to employ 100 BASE T Ethernet, also known as Fast Ethernet. More importantly, the brand new 1000 BASE T Ethernet standard will be able to run over most existing Category 5. Finally, fiber optic cable can be used to transmit either 10 BASE T or 100 BASE T Ethernet frames.

Fibrewise General Topology: A Brief Outlook By David Buhagiar
A brief outlook by David Buhagiar.
http://at.yorku.ca/t/a/i/c/34.htm

Extractions: Topology Atlas Document # taic-34 Topology Atlas Invited Contributions vol. 5 issue 1 (2000) 1-4 The study of General Topology is usually concerned with the category TOP of topological spaces as objects, and continuous maps as morphisms. The concepts of space and map are equally important and one can even look at a space as a map from this space onto a singleton space and in this manner identify these two concepts. With this in mind, a branch of General Topology which has become known as General Topology of Continuous Maps, or Fibrewise General Topology, was initiated. This field of research is concerned most of all in extending the main notions and results concerning topological spaces to those of continuous maps. In this way one can see some well-known results in a new and clearer light and one can also be led to further developments which otherwise would not have suggested themselves. The fibrewise viewpoint is standard in the theory of fibre bundles, however, it has been recognized relatively recently that the same viewpoint is also as important in other areas such as General Topology. For an arbitrary topological space Y one considers the category TOP Y TOP , since the category TOP is isomorphic to the particular case of TOP Y in which the space Y is a singleton space.

http://www.esri.com/news/arcuser/0401/topo.html

Extractions: and Shapefiles by David M. Theobald, Colorado State University When asked if topology is a key concept of GIS, most GIS users will nod their heads in agreement. But ask these same folks about how topology is handled in shapefiles and the nodding heads give way to shrugging shoulders. Why should GIS users care about topology? What are the advantages and disadvantages of storing polygon data in shapefiles rather than coverages? What Is Topology? "Conundrum Inspires Topology." More recently, the United States Census Bureau, while preparing for the 1970 census, pioneered the application of mathematical topology to maps to reduce the errors in tabulating massive amounts of census data. Today, topology in GIS is generally defined as the spatial relationships between adjacent or neighboring features. Mathematical topology assumes that geographic features occur on a two-dimensional plane. Through planar enforcement, spatial features can be represented through nodes (0-dimensional cells); edges, sometimes called arcs (one-dimensional cells); or polygons (two-dimensional cells). Because features can exist only on a plane, lines that cross are broken into separate lines that terminate at nodes representing intersections rather than simple vertices. In GIS, topology is implemented through data structure. An ArcInfo coverage is a familiar topological data structure. A coverage explicitly stores topological relationships among neighboring polygons in the Arc Attribute Table (AAT) by storing the adjacent polygon IDs in the LPoly and RPoly fields. Adjacent lines are connected through nodes, and this information is stored in the arc-node table. The ArcInfo commands, CLEAN and BUILD, enforce planar topology on data and update topology tables.
What Is Algebraic Topology?
Introductory essay by Joe Neisendorfer, University of Rochester.

Extractions: WHAT IS ALGEBRAIC TOPOLOGY? THE BEGINNINGS OF ALGEBRAIC TOPOLOGY Algebraic topology is a twentieth century field of mathematics that can trace its origins and connections back to the ancient beginnings of mathematics. For example, if you want to determine the number of possible regular solids, you use something called the Euler characteristic which was originally invented to study a problem in graph theory called the Seven Bridges of Konigsberg. Can you cross the seven bridges without retracing your steps? No and the Euler characteristic tells you so. Later, Gauss defined the so-called linking number, a precise invariant which tells you whether two circles are linked. It is called an invariant because it remains the same even if we continuously deform the geometric object. Gauss also found a relationship between the total curvature of a surface and the Euler characteristic. All of these ideas are bound together by the central idea that continuous geometric phenomena can be understood by the use of discrete invariants. The winding number of a curve illustrates two important principles of algebraic topology. First, it assigns to a geometric odject, the closed curve, a discrete invariant, the winding number which is an integer. Second, when we deform the geometric object, the winding number does not change, hence, it is called an invariant of deformation or, synomynously, an invariant of homotopy.

Extractions: A B C D ... Network Hardware What is a network topology? In communication networks, a topology is a usually schematic description of the arrangement of a network, including its nodes and connecting lines. There are two ways of defining network geometry: the physical topology and the logical (or signal) topology. The physical topology of a network is the actual geometric layout of workstations. There are several common physical topologies, as described below and as shown in the illustration. In the bus network topology, every workstation is connected to a main cable called the bus . Therefore, in effect, each workstation is directly connected to every other workstation in the network. In the star network topology, there is a central computer or server to which all the workstations are directly connected. Every workstation is indirectly connected to every other through the central computer. In the ring network topology, the workstations are connected in a closed loop configuration. Adjacent pairs of workstations are directly connected. Other pairs of workstations are indirectly connected, the data passing through one or more intermediate nodes.

Extractions: Geometric Topology This area of mathematics is about the assignment of geometric structures to topological spaces, so that they "look like" geometric spaces. For instance, compact two dimensional surfaces can have a local geometry based on the sphere (the sphere itself, and the projective plane), based on the Euclidean plane (the torus and the Klein bottle), or based on the hyperbolic plane (all other surfaces). Similar questions in three dimensions have more complicated answers; Thurston showed that there are eight possible geometries, and conjectured that all 3-manifolds can be split into pieces having these geometries. Computer solution of these questions by programs like SnapPea has proved very useful in the study of knot theory and other topological problems. Acme Klein Bottle .
