Topics in topology

The content consists of a selection of standard graduate topics in topology, such as general homotopy theory, obstruction theory, the theory of fibre bundles. K-theory, the theory of Lie groupoids, the theory of spectral sequences, Morse theory, knot theory etc. The choice depends on students' research interests.
