We consider the classifying set, denoted ℂ/˜ below, introduced by Mahler and we show that it can be endowed with non-discrete, Hausdorff topologies (even local distances) based on diophantine approximation properties of (complex) numbers. We then establish several results on the pointed topological space obtained, which could be dubbed Mahler's space (of first degree). We recover an analogue of Mahler's original classification by considering local distances to the special point (that is the class of all algebraic numbers). The main ingredients used here are diophantine properties in dimension zero over ℚ and non-standard analysis.
