Abstrak

In this text we expose (as a sequence of problems) basic cases of some fundamental ideas and methods of mathematics. Namely, of homotopy, degree, fundamental group, covering, Whitehead invariant, etc. This is done by considering the elementary example: closed polygonal lines in a subset of the plane. Although these ideas and methods are parts of topology, they are used in many other areas including computer science. This text is expository and is accessible to mathematicians not specialized in the area (and to students).
