Algebraic Topology I

A collection of colorful circles arranged in such a way as they result in a three-sphere.

The Hopf fibration shows how the three-sphere can be built by a collection of circles arranged like points on a two-sphere. This is a frame from an animation of fibers in the Hopf fibration over various points on the two-sphere. (Image and animation courtesy of Niles Johnson.
