Abstract
We want to develop here as expeditiously as possible some routine facts about the topology of the plane centering on connectedness; these are essential in all that follows. A deeper exploration of the topology of the plane occurs in Chapter IV, after the exponential function has been developed (in Chapter III) and the useful concept of the index of a curve is available.
