Apr 20, 2015 at 23:40 comment added Igor Rivin Submanifolds of $R^3$ are orientable surfaces. For such, the sum of betti numbers is $2g+2,$ where $g$ is the number of handles. For the relationship between this and the Lyusternik-Shnirelman category, see the wikipedia article.
Apr 20, 2015 at 23:28 comment added Physicist 2.0 yes, this is also the answer in the link that I referred to, but if I want to calculate this for a submanifold in $\mathbb{R}^3$ are there any ways to do this somehow directly? Like how can I see that this number is three for a torus and not just two? I mean there should be simpler arguments available in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and that is what I am looking for. Is there an easy way to do this?
