Description:
| Aims: To provide an introduction to topology and topological spaces, preparing students for later studies in algebraic topology, as well as the ideas underlying modern analysis and geometry.
Learning Outcomes:
* Familiarity with topological spaces and their role in topology, analysis and geometry.
* Understanding of compactness and connectedness in this general setting.
* Ability to apply these ideas and methods to examples.
Skills:Numeracy T/F A
Problem Solving T/F A
Written Communication F (on problem sheets)
Content: Topologies and topological spaces, continuous maps and homeomorphisms, subspaces, product spaces, quotient spaces, compactness and connectedness. Further topics will be discussed such as: function spaces and compact-open topologies; Hausdorff spaces and separation axioms; Tychonoff's theorem; Compact surfaces, their representation as quotient spaces, and a sketch of their classification.
