Introduction to Topology

Department of Mathematics, University of Toronto, Fall 2010

Agenda: Understand "continuity" in the most abstract, learn about "the fundamental groups" and maybe touch "surfaces".

Instructor: Dror Bar-Natan, drorbn@math.toronto.edu (Wiki before Email!), Bahen 6178, 416-946-5438. Office hours: by appointment.

Classes: Mondays 2-3 and Thursdays 2-4 in Sydney Smith 1070.

Teaching Assistant: David Reiss, david.reiss@utoronto.ca, SS 622.

Text

James Munkres' Topology. Many other texts are also available. (A useful principle to know is that many math texts are available online. Web search for (name of text + name of author + pdf or djvu).
