Teaching assistant (Autumn 2025) : MM7052 - Topology
Master's Programme in Mathematics of Stockholm University and Royal Institute of Technology (KTH).
- Professor
The courses will be provided by Gregory Arone.
- Abstract
In topology, we are concerned with geometric objects under continuous deformations - for instance we can continuously deform a coffee cup to a donut. A topology is an abstraction of the properties of metric spaces which are needed to define continuous functions.
The course covers foundations of general topology (topological spaces, continuity, compactness, connectedness, identification topologies), the fundamental group, classification of closed surfaces. You can find the course webpage on kurser.math.su.se.
