👉 "Ramifying" is a mathematical concept in topology that refers to a set of points or lines on a surface. It is used to describe how many times a curve can be cut by another curve without any intersection. For example, if we have a line segment (a simple closed curve) and a circle, the ramification number of this circle will be one since it cuts the line at only one point. If the circle has more than one point on the line, then there are multiple ram
