Topology can be loosely defined as the branch of mathematics studying the properties of an object that are invariant under smooth distortions. Topological phases, as a result, show a kind of robustness and universality that is similar in spirit to the famous universality observed at continuous phase transitions, but with a very different microscopic origin. This chapter introduces some of the key examples of topological phases of matter and places them in the broader context of many-body physics. Einstein famously commented that statistical mechanics was one kind of physics whose basic principles would last forever, because theywere based only on the assumption that our knowledge of a complex system is incomplete. Topological phases show how a kind of macroscopic simplicity and perfection can nevertheless emerge in many-particle systems, even in the presence of disorder and fluctuations that make a complete microscopic description impossible"--
