Also known as surface (topology), 2-manifold, topological surface
two-dimensional manifold, and, as such, may be an "abstract surface" not embedded in any Euclidean space
A surface is a two-dimensional shape or space, like the face of a sphere or a curved sheet of paper. Surfaces matter because they help mathematicians and scientists describe and understand the properties of objects and spaces, including both everyday shapes and more abstract mathematical structures that don't necessarily exist in physical space.
