A quick proof of the classification of surfaces
... The classification of surfaces is one of the cornerstones of low-dimensional topology. The goal of this brief note is note is to explain an amazingly efficient proof of this result that is due to Zeeman [Z]. Most textbook sources for the classification are aimed at beginning students and include so mu ...

... equivalence relation. For example, in constructing the torus from the square we define (x, 0) ∼ (x, 1) and (0, y) ∼ (1, y) and every other equivalence is an equality. The torus is the set of equivalence classes and we give this a topology as follows: Definition 3 Let ∼ be an equivalence relation on ...
