Topological space

In mathematics, a topological space is, roughly speaking, a geometrical space in which closeness is defined but cannot necessarily be measured by a numeric distance. More specifically, a topological space is a set whose elements are called points, along with an additional structure called a topology, which can be defined as a set of neighbourhoods for each point that satisfy some axioms formalizing the concept of closeness. There are several equivalent definitions of a topology, the most commonly used of which is the definition through open sets, which is easier than the others to manipulate. A topological space is the most general type of a mathematical space that allows for the definition of limits, continuity, and connectedness. Common types of topological spaces include Euclidean spaces, metric spaces and manifolds. Although very general, the concept of topological spaces is fundamental, and used in virtually every branch of modern mathematics. The study of topological spaces in their own right is called point-set topology or general topology. (Wikipedia).

What is a metric space ?

Metric space definition and examples. Welcome to the beautiful world of topology and analysis! In this video, I present the important concept of a metric space, and give 10 examples. The idea of a metric space is to generalize the concept of absolute values and distances to sets more gener

SEPARATION BUT MATHEMATICALLY: What Types of Mathematical Topologies are there? | Nathan Dalaklis

The title of this video is a bit convoluted. What do you mean by "Separation but Mathematically"? Well, in this video I'll be giving a (very diluted) answer to the question "What types of mathematical topologies are there?" by introducing the separation axioms in topology. The separation
