MATH 452 - Topology II

Description:
An introduction to point-set and algebraic topology. Topics may include metric spaces, topological spaces, homotopy theory, and the fundamental group.

Prerequisites:
Prerequisite: MATH 451 with a grade of C or higher.

Credits: (3)

Learner Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

classify topological spaces by topological invariants (e.g., the fundamental group, the Euler characteristic, the knot nolvnomials)
tell in their own words how to apply these concepts to familiar situations (e.g., spheres, tori, trefoils)
work cooperatively in the context of mathematics
