Elementary Differential Topology
Orientation refers to a way of assigning direction or a consistent choice of 'sides' for a geometric object, allowing one to distinguish between its distinct possible configurations. This concept is crucial when working with manifolds and maps, as it helps define how spaces can be transformed and relates directly to the computation of degree, which measures how many times a map wraps one space around another.
congrats on reading the definition of Orientation. now let's actually learn it.
