Topology is the study of special properties that are preserved under continuous deformation of objects. Put more simply, it studies the properties that don't change unless you poke a hole in the object. One of the most popular examples is that of a coffee cup that can be continuously deformed into a doughnut. Then, the cup and the doughnut are said to be “topologically equivalent”. Topology began with [[Leonard Euler]]'s consideration of the [[Königsberg Bridges Problem]], which also introduced [[Graph Theory]]. [[Beck's map of the London Underground]] in 1933 used a topological distortion of the locations of the subway stations in order to produce a more useful and artistic map.  [[Differential geometry]] is a specialized field of its own.
