Textbook

There is no required text for this course. I will try to make the lectures fairly self-contained. However, there are many good textbooks on topology and algebraic topology. If you would like a text that will cover many of the things in this course I recommend:

  • Topology: a geometric approach by Terry Lawson.


Grading Policy

The course grade will be based on the following.

Homework: 50%
Midterm: 20%
Final Exam: 30%

Homework Policy

Every week or two I will assign a set of homework problems. You should check the homework web page regularly, since I will not always announce when I post an assignment. You will have between one and two week to work on the problems (the exact due date will be on the problem set).


Exams

Final Exam is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, May 3 from 8:00 till 10:50.
