Topology II - Topics in Topology
MATH 525
Fall 2007
| Section:
01
|
This course may be repeated for credit. |
This course will involve topics in algebraic topology, possibly including homology, cohomology, homotopy, and generalized cohomology theories. For Fall 2007, this will be a course on graphs and surfaces and will include Kuratowski's theorem, classification of surfaces by genus, graph embeddings, graph minors, and graph coloring. |
Essential Capabilities:
The course will involve topics in algebraic topology, possibly including homology, cohomology, homotopy, and generalized cohomology theories. For Fall 2007, this will be a course on differentiable manifolds, and then we will discuss the main ideas of bordism theory as a homology theory.
