For more information, see some older syllabi, from 1998, 1999, and 2003. You may also want to look at some past qualifying exams in Topology, based in part on the material covered in this course. | ||||||||||||
Fort the first homework, I recommend using the Simplicial Homology package, which runs under GAP. (The software is already installed on our network.) |
