Combinatorial topology is a subset of algebraic topology that uses combinatorial methods. For
example, simplicial homology is a combinatorial
construction in algebraic topology , so it belongs
to combinatorial topology.
Algebraic topology originated with combinatorial topology, but went beyond it probably for the first time in the 1930s when Čech
cohomology was developed.
