Part XIX
Euler Characteristic and Topology
The goal for this part is to classify topological surfaces based ontheir Euler characteristic and orientability.

Euler characteristic of some familiar surfaces
Find the Euler characteristic for:
1. a torus
2. a 2-holed torus
3. a cylinder (without the top or bottom)
4. a cone (without the bottom)
5. a hexagon
6. a Mobius band
Note that the cylinder, cone, hexagon, and Mobius band aresurfaces with boundary.
What numbers are possible as the Euler number for surfaces?

Building new surfaces out of old
Two ways of building new surfaces out of old are:
1. making punctures
2. joining surfaces with connected sums
In fact, all surfaces can be built this way, starting only the withbuilding blocks of spheres, tori, and projective planes!See Conway’s zip proof in Chapter 8.

Homework
1. What topological surface are shown in the figures on theprevious page? Hint: find the Euler number and count thenumber of boundary curves (if any). You might also need todecide if the surface has any orientation reversing paths ornot. For each surface, write your answer by giving the familiarname of the surfaces if possible or by describing it as aconnected sum of tori or projective planes with a certainnumber of punctures.
