Question

Answer 1

the study of geometrical properties and spatial relations unaffected by the continuous change of shape or size of figures.

Answer 2

A network topology is the pattern in which nodes (i.e., computers, printers, routers or other devices) are connected to a local area network (LAN) or other network via links (e.g., twisted pair copper wire cable or optical fiber cable). There are four principal topologies used in LANs: bus, ring, star and mesh.
