All Geometry And Topology

This group collects the Mathematics subcategory's members whose defining work concerns geometry and topology: shapes, spaces, manifolds and the properties preserved under continuous deformation, spanning classical Euclidean geometry through modern algebraic geometry, differential geometry and low-dimensional topology. It is the subcategory's largest group, kept apart from Algebra And Number Theory, whose members work on algebraic structures and numbers as their own subject rather than geometric or topological spaces.

Quote, Topology, lead section, origin sentence
Topology, as a well-defined mathematical discipline, originates in the early part of the twentieth century, but some isolated results can be traced back several centuries.
