Topology is a kind of geometry in which important properties of a figure are preserved under continuous motions (homeomorphisms). This course gives students an introduction to some of the classical topics in the area: the basic notions of point set topology (including connectedness and compactness) and the definition and use of the fundamental group. The course could be taken concurrently with Real Analysis.) Prerequisites: MTH 280 or 281 or permission of the instructor.
Topic: Topology.
