The word topology is derived from two Greek words, 'topos' meaning 'surface' and 'logos' meaning 'study'. Topology thus literally means the study of surface but this is unadequate for a understanding of the spirit of the subject as its stands today, the best way to appreciate what topology is about is by comparing it with geometry. The two being akin to each other in so many respects.
Geometry as its stand today can be defined as the study of geometrical properties of objects the objects we are dealing is geometry are lines, planes,circles,cube cylinder various types of surface and curves.
