The fundamental group is a concept in the study of [[algebraic topology]], used primarily to distinguish one [[topological space]] from another. The fundamental group is the first [[homotopy group]], defined at a particular point to be the set of loops based at the point, modulo the relationship of being contractible to the identity loop.
