Learning outcome
1. Knowledge. The student can give the definitions of the key concepts, state and prove the main theorems, and work out key examples from the topic covered in the course. 2. Skills. The student is ready to conduct research in topology and to apply ideas from topology in other areas of mathematics and beyond.
Learning methods and activities
The learning methods and activities depend on the course teacher. The course may be taught in English.
The course is given every second year if a sufficient number of students sign up. The course is given next time Spring 2023.
Recommended previous knowledge
The course is based on TMA4190 Introduction to Topology, TMA4192 Differential Topology, and MA3403 Algebraic Topology 1.
