Intro to Abstract Math
Singular homology is a fundamental concept in algebraic topology that associates a sequence of abelian groups or modules with a topological space, capturing its shape and structure. It uses singular simplices to study the properties of spaces by focusing on the ways they can be continuously mapped into Euclidean spaces. This method allows mathematicians to differentiate between topological spaces based on their homological properties, leading to insights about their connectivity and holes.
