Topology Illustrated
Please click "Look inside" and read Section 1.1 Topology around us.

Algebraic topology is the main subject of this book that initially follows a two-semester first course in topology. It furthermore takes the reader to more advanced parts of algebraic topology as well as some applications: the shape of the universe, configuration spaces, digital image analysis, data analysis, social choice, exchange economy. An overview of discrete calculus is also included (extended presentation in Calculus Illustrated. Volume 1: Precalculus). The book contains over 1000 color illustrations and over 1000 exercises. The spreadsheets for the simulations and other supplementary material are found at the author's website.
