In mathematics, particularly in the field of algebraic topology and homological algebra, a **chain complex** is a mathematical structure that consists of a sequence of abelian groups (or modules) connected by boundary maps that satisfy certain properties. Chain complexes are useful for studying topological spaces, algebraic structures, and more.
