In mathematics, a topological algebra is an algebra and at the same time a topological space, where the algebraic and the topological structures are coherent in a specified sense. Definition [ edit ]
Algebraic topology is a branch of mathematics that uses tools from abstract algebra to study topological spaces. The basic goal is to find algebraic invariants that classify topological spaces up to homeomorphism , though usually most classify up to homotopy equivalence .
A three-dimensional model of a figure-eight knot.The figure-eight knot is a prime knot and has an Alexander–Briggs notation of 4 1.. Topology (from the Greek words τόπος, 'place, location', and λόγος, 'study') is the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties of a geometric object that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching, twisting, crumpling ...

It was established in 1971 as General Topology and Its Applications, and renamed to its current title in 1980. The journal currently publishes 18 issues each year in one volume. It is indexed by Scopus, Mathematical Reviews, and Zentralblatt MATH. Its 2004–2008 MCQ was 0.38 and its 2020 impact factor was 0.617. [1]
In mathematics, combinatorial topology was an older name for algebraic topology, dating from the time when topological invariants of spaces (for example the Betti numbers) were regarded as derived from combinatorial decompositions of spaces, such as decomposition into simplicial complexes.
In mathematics, specifically algebraic topology, the mapping cylinder [1] of a continuous function between topological spaces and is the quotient = (([,])) / where the denotes the disjoint union, and ~ is the equivalence relation generated by
The completion is a functorial operation: a continuous map f: R → S of topological rings gives rise to a map of their completions, ^: ^ ^. Moreover, if M and N are two modules over the same topological ring R and f : M → N is a continuous module map then f uniquely extends to the map of the completions:
