Using D3.js to calculate and visualize hour and minute hand rotations between two times. Using some artistic license with the Socrata logo to visualize the analog rotations.

#Topology in Geography

Topology is a broad branch of mathematics used to describe the fundamental structure of a shape or object within a space. Objects can be manipulated by stretching or compressing the shape’s components, but the tearing of or addition to its structure will break topology. According to the rules of topology, a doughnut and a coffee mug are equal.

###Topology example: ![Alt text] (http://i.imgur.com/sBP9p.gif)

Geography utilizes topology to project geometric objects from a 3D sphere onto a 2D coordinate system while allowing the shape to stay intact with some distortion.

###3D Sphere projections to 2D plane:
