In mathematics, a "meander" refers to a specific type of curve or path that has a winding, zigzagging shape. More formally, a meander can be described in the context of topology and combinatorial geometry, where it often pertains to the study of curves on a plane that cross themselves in a certain way. A classic example of meanders arises in the study of river paths or the trajectory of flowing water, which tend to form intricate, looping patterns as they navigate through landscapes.
