Hi,

A trivial example is the constant real function 1.
 
Another trivial example is the map $x \mapsto kx$ for $0 \leq k < 1$ over, say, the reals. It has an obvious fixed point: zero.
 
A sphere as topological manifold can be defined by gluing together the boundary of two disk. Basically one starts assigning each disk the subspace topology from ##\mathbb R^2## and then taking the quotient topology obtained by gluing their boundaries. Starting from the above definition of 2-sphere as topological manifold, shows that it is homeomorphic to the "embedded" sphere understood as subset of ##\mathbb R^3## in the subspace topology.
