I know Topology is a branch of Math. And also there's something called topology studied in Topology.

Topology is the study of the connectivity of shapes, surfaces, and networks. For example, a ball and a bowl have the same connectivity to a topologist, but a coffee cup has a different connectivity, because it has a hole. To a topologist, a coffee cup has the same connectivity as a donut or a DVD, each has one hole.
Moebius strips are also studied by topologists.

Topology (Greek topos, "place," and logos, "study") is a branch of mathematics that is an extension of geometry. Topology begins with a consideration of the nature of space, investigating both its fine structure and its global structure. Topology builds on set theory, considering both sets of points and families of sets.

You're thinking of topography, Blaggy_1998.

A topology is a set of points, X, together with a collection of subsets of X, call this T, satisfying:
1) both the empty set and X itself belong to T
2) given any arbitrary collections of sets in T, the union of all of those is in T as well
3) given any finite collection of sets from T, their intersection is in T as well.
The sets in T are usually called "open sets". X together with T is called a topological space, and T is called the topology on X.
An example: any metric space, together with T=the collection of all open sets in the space (here open referring to sets open according to the metric space definition of open)

Topology is the study of the shapes of things: the effects of knots, holes, twists, and the like.

topology is the science of maps not maths. A topological graph shows the contours and the surface of an area

Its about whether or not a line between A and B crosses a line between any two other points in getting there on a surface.
