N-connected space

In the mathematical branch of algebraic topology, specifically homotopy theory, n-connectedness (sometimes, n-simple connectedness) generalizes the concepts of path-connectedness and simple connectedness. To say that a space is n-connected is to say that its first n homotopy groups are trivial, and to say that a map is n-connected means that it is an isomorphism "up to dimension n, in homotopy".
