Learning outcomes
Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of:
- methods from Combinatorial Algebraic Topology (as Discrete Morse functions, CW-Morse Theory)
- higher homotopy theory (Whithead and Hurewicz theorems, K(pi,1)-spaces)
- locally trivial bundles (classifying spaces, obstruction theory, spectral sequences).
Assessment criteria of knowledge
During the oral exam, or seminar presentation, the student must be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge of the course material, having uderstood the main methods and, in case of seminar presentation, being able to understand similar situations where the main tools are used.
Methods:
- Final oral exam
- Final essay
Further information:
The evaluation is usually based on a seminar presentation about a subject which is strictly related to the course contents.
Teaching methods
Delivery: face to face
Learning activities:
- attending lectures
- participation in seminar
Attendance: Advised
