Topology vs. Topography
Difference Between Topology and Topography
Topologynoun
(mathematics) A branch of mathematics studying those properties of a geometric figure or solid that are not changed by stretching, bending and similar homeomorphisms.
Topographynoun
A precise description of a place.
Topologynoun
(mathematics) A collection τ of subsets of a set X such that the empty set and X are both members of τ and τ is closed under finitary intersections and arbitrary unions.
Topographynoun
A detailed graphic representation of the surface features of a place or object.
Topologynoun
(medicine) The anatomical structure of part of the body.
Topographynoun
