the topology and the topology

[chrisamaphone]

sometimes i learn things about topology with pictures or by taping together pieces of paper. i think about stretching, shrinking, and numbers of holes.

sometimes i try to learn about topology by understanding a series of mathematical definitions. i think about partial orders, closed and open sets, frames, interiors, and neighborhoods.

at what point do these lessons converge?
