Introduction

A standard or usual mathematical model for a map is the two-dimensional manifold or surface with a finite cellular decomposition. A two-dimensional manifold is a continuous, infinitely subdividable space such that every non-boundary point has a neighborhood that looks like a small disk in the plane, and every boundary point has a neighborhood that resembles a half disk.
