| - | A presheaf in topology assigns a set $FU$ to each open set $U$ of a topological space $\langle X,\mathcal T\rangle$. A [[sheaf]] is a presheaf fulfilling two axioms ('locality' and 'gluing') and it's intended to capture the case where $FU$ are sets of sections over a topological space (e.g. the section of a fibre bundle $p:E\to X$, e.g. vector fields) and the arrows $F(i)$ are restrictions of those section to smaller open sets. The definition of a seperated presheaf is the first step towards the definition of a sheaf. | + | A presheaf in topology assigns a set $FU$ to each open set $U$ of a topological space $\langle X,\mathcal T\rangle$.

| Now if the $FU$'s of a sheaf are to be a sets of such sections over a topological space, then it should be that the maps $F(i)$ between them can be seen as restriction of the function domains. To this end, if $i:V\to U$ is the inclusion of a small open set $V$ in another $U$, require that if $s,t\in FU$ agree on all restricted domains which make up the cover of $U$, i.e. $F(i)(s)=F(i)(t)$, then there can be no other way in which they can differ, so $s=t$. | Now if the $FU$'s of a sheaf are to be a sets of such sections over a topological space, then it should be that the maps $F(i)$ between them can be seen as restriction of the function domains.
