We’ve talked about topology here on Infinite Series. It’s the branch of math where we study properties of shapes that are preserved no matter how you bend, twist, stretch or deform them. And you’ve probably come across some cool examples of these shapes - or topological spaces - like spheres and tori, Mobius bands and Klein bottles. In this episode we discuss the the 3 axioms that underlie all of topology. If you want to dive deeper after watching this episode check out the links below:
