How it's used
This term is a technical academic field and is rarely used outside of university settings or specialized scientific discussions. In casual conversation, it is sometimes jokingly referred to as 橡膠幾何學 because of the way shapes are treated as if they were made of rubber and can be stretched or twisted without changing their fundamental properties.
Examples
He majored in topology in university, he is very smart.
