Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:37:33
Abstract
Topics covered include: topological spaces, continuity, connectedness, compactness, product spaces, separation axioms, quotient spaces, homotopy, fundamental group, covering spaces.
Objective
An introduction to topology -- the domain of mathematics that studies how to define the notion of continuity on a mathematical structure, and how to use it to study and classify these structures.
