Summary
This program concisely presents the basic concepts of topology. After a brief introduction involving the four-color theorem, Prof. David compares the elastic deformations of various geometric figures to determine equivalence, making use of fixed points and point sets affected by surface transformation. The discussion prepares the viewer to answer the question: can a Mobius strip be proven equivalent to other configurations?--container
