Definition

Related to a branch of mathematics that studies the properties of spaces through algebraic structures called cohomology.

Example

The cohomological methods provide deep insights into the topology of the manifold.

Conversation

I've been reading about cohomological theories lately.

Oh really? That sounds interesting!

Yeah, it's fascinating how they relate to different areas of math.

I can imagine! It must be quite complex but rewarding.

Root Explanation

Cohomological → It is formed from "co-" (meaning together) and "homology" (from Greek "homologia", meaning agreement or correspondence) and the suffix "-ical" (meaning pertaining to). The term refers to concepts that pertain to the study of cohomology, which involves structures that are related or correspond to one another in a mathematical context.

Memory Tip

Think of 'together' ('co-') and 'correspondence' ('homology') to remember that 'cohomological' relates to concepts that are interconnected in mathematics.
