Course Description & Objectives:

In this course tools from abstract algebra are used to study topological spaces. For example, given two topological spaces, a group will be associated with each of the two topological spaces and from the associated groups deductions will be made on the two topological spaces. Course Objectives:This course is intended ;

To introduce the student to the classification of topological spaces.
To introduce the student to fundamental groups, homotopy theory, invariants

Learning Outcomes:

classification of topological spaces.
fundamental groups, homotopy theory, invariants
