This course is a first introduction to topology. It will start with basic concepts in point set topology (e.g. topological spaces, continuous maps, metric spaces, constructions of topological spaces, compactness, connectedness). Then it will give an introduction to algebraic topology, such as homotopy, fundamental group, and covering spaces.
See the study handbook for more information.
You should have seen multivariate calculus and linear algebra. Ideally you should have taken TMA4150 Algebra and/or MA3201 Rings and Modules as well, but if you haven't don't worry!
If you have any questions, just contact me!
The first lectures will be January 10 and 11.
