Academic preconditions:
Basic notions from topology and linear algebra must be known.
Course introductionAlgebraic topology is a branch of mathematics that uses algebraic constructions to create and study topological invariants of cell complexes, fundamental group and covering spaces.
Expected learning outcomeAt the end of the course, the student will be able to:
- reproduce definitions and results within the syllabus of the course
- apply the theory to solve problems within the socpe of the syllabus of the course
- argue in a mathematically correct and stringent way the steps in the solution of given problems
- supply stringent and complete proofs for statements within the syllabus of the course
- identify and descirbe mathematical structures within the scope of the syllabus of the course in specific examples
Subject overviewsurfaces, cell complexes, group actions, homotopy, foundamental group, space covering.
