|      From: _Topology A First Course_, James R. Munkres,
           Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.
     
     (pg. 76)  [The following is almost but not quite verbatim.]
     
     Definition. A topology on a set X is a collection T of
                 subsets of X having the following properties:
     
              1. The empty set and X are in T.
              2. The union of the elements of any subcollection
                 of T is in T.
              3. The intersection of the elements of any finite
                 subcollection of T is in T.
     
     A topological space is an ordered pair (X,T) consisting
     of a set X and a topology T on X.  A subset U of X is
     an open set of (X,T) if U belongs to the collection T.

|     Of course, that definition will not help you when it comes time to
    write some solid modelling mechanical CAD software...
