# Homeomorphism **Definition:** A homeomorphism is a continuous bijection f: X → Y between topological spaces with a continuous inverse f⁻¹: Y → X. **Why it matters:** Homeomorphisms capture the notion of "topological equivalence"—they tell us when two spaces have the same topological structure, meaning all topological properties (connectedness, compactness, etc.) are preserved between them. This allows topologists to classify spaces up to "rubber-sheet geometry," where a coffee cup and a donut are homeomorphic because one can be continuously deformed into the other without tearing or gluing.
