I am a senior at Pitzer, and my major is psychology. I took topology because it sounded neat. I really enjoyed the class. This page is my final project for Math 10. It explains toplogy, looks at the 4 Color Theorem, and reviews fictional books about math.
Topology is a branch of mathmatics that concerns itself with the study of surfaces.
Size and shape do not really matter, surfaces are made of an infinitely stretchy matter, like a rubber sheet. Surfaces or shapes are said to be equivelent if they can be deformed into each other through bending, twisting, smushing, or stretching. Thus, a square and a circle are the same. There is no real difference between your right and left hands to a topologist. In fact, there is no real difference between the features on your face and mine.
