Tips

memory
Pure transliteration of English 'topology' — 拓扑 (tuò-pū) ≈ 'topo'. The (xué) is then added for the academic field: 拓扑 (tuòpūxué). Note here is read tuò (not tà — tà means 'to make a rubbing of an inscription').
mistakes
has two readings: tuò (to expand, develop — as here) and tà (to make a rubbing). For 拓扑 always use tuò; for (tàpiàn, ink rubbing) use tà.
