Topologists Have Great Jeans

Topologists Have Great Jeans

The ultimate mathematical dad joke! What you're seeing is a genus-2 surface (a double torus) that looks suspiciously like a pair of jeans. In topology, we don't care about exact measurements—only the fundamental shape properties. So to a topologist, your fancy designer jeans and this mathematical monstrosity are essentially identical. While Sydney Sweeney might break the internet with her denim, topologists break mathematical conventions with surfaces that have exactly the right number of holes. Fashion is temporary, but topological invariants are forever.
