What is a topological groupoid?

550 Views Asked by At

I'm reading section 2.7 (Fundamental Group of the Circle) of the book Algebraic Topology by Tom Dieck. The section mentions the term "topological groupoid" but I cannot find the definition in previous sections.

I tried to think of it as a similar term to "topological group" but I'm still having trouble reading the proof of $\pi_1(S^1,*)\cong \mathbb Z$ without an exact definition and a motivation.

Could anyone please give some clue on how one motivate the definition and why the book uses the term without a definition? (I personally do not think it is an elementary definition that can be omitted.)

Thank you.
