Alexandrov topology

Alexandrov topology is a type of math that helps us figure out what shapes are the same as each other. It tells us which shapes are the same even if they look different. For example, a circle and a square look different but they both have 4 sides and 4 corners so they are the same shape. Alexandrov topology helps us figure out which shapes can be changed into each other, and which shapes are different.
