TOPOLOGY

The qualities of a surface that stay the same under continuous deformation.

Topology says... 

"A DONUT IS A COFFEE MUG."

This is because of the surface's
Euler characteristic. 

Topology deals with continuous deformations of surfaces, typed by something called their Euler characteristic, which depends on a surface's vertices, faces, and edges. 

​

If two objects' Euler characteristics are equal, like a coffee mug and a donut, then they are topologically the same.

BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
