R. Switzer: Algebraic Topology – Homotopy and Homology

Student learns basic concepts of algebraic topology: homotopy, cellular spaces, homotopy groups and cohomology groups.

Knowledge and understanding:
Basic concepts and techniques for the computation of homotopy and cohomology groups. Understanding of the concepts of homotopy invariance and of approaches to geometric problems by algebraic methods.
Application:
Parts of mathematics with strong geometric content (complex and global analysis, geometric and differential toology, graph theory), computer science (computer graphics, pattern recognition, topological data analysis, robotics), theoretical physics.
Reflection:
Understanding of theoretical concepts through examples and applications.
Transferable skills:
Recognition of algebraic structures in geometry,
appropriate formulation of problems.
