Topology is a geometry of transformations in which the only invariant is continuity.


Definitions specific to this category can be found in Definitions/Topology.


The original name of this subject was geometria situs, or analysis situs (i.e. geometry / analysis of position).

The word topology was coined by Johann Benedict Listing in a letter of 1836[1].

The word was first published in the title of Listing's 1847 book Vorstudien zur Topologie, but the word never caught on until the 1920's.
