Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. That branch of logic or rhetoric which treats of topics in the sense of topic, n.
- n. The most general, fundamental, and naturally elementary branch of geometry, which neither considers lengths, areas, or volumes in their character of being measurable, nor distinguishes straight from curved or crooked lines, nor plane from curved or bent surfaces, but studies only the manner in which the parts of places are continuously connected. Although topics is of its own nature the easiest kind of geometry, yet, owing to its having been neglected, geometers have not been at home in the subject and have found great difficulty in demonstrating its theorems. It is often called
topology .
