This book takes a new look at the subject, choosing a geometric approach rather than the usual algebraic or combinatorial approach. It starts with a wealth of examples of how to be mathematically certain whether two objects are the same from the point of view of topology. After introducing surfaces, the book explores the properties of polyhedra drawn on these surfaces. More refined tools are developed in a chapter on winding number.

A Topological Aperitif

Presents the proceedings of the recently held conference at the University of Plymouth. Papers describe recent work by leading researchers in twistor theory and cover a wide range of subjects, including conformal invariants, integral transforms, Einstein equations, anti-self-dual Riemannian 4-manifolds, deformation theory, 4-dimensional conformal structures, and more.;The book is intended for complex geometers and analysts, theoretical physicists, and graduate students in complex analysis, complex differential geometry, and mathematical physics.
