Math 751 — Berstein Seminar in Topology

Fall 2002

Instructor: Karen Vogtmann

Time: MWF 11:15-12:05

Room: Malott 205

The aim of this course is to introduce students to a currently active topic in topology which is not routinely covered in other courses. The course is run as a seminar, in which students present the material to each other. This will be done at a level accessible to anyone who has completed the usual first-year sequence of graduate courses, including Math 651. I will present short descriptions of several possible topics during the first week of classes, and the students will choose one of these to concentrate on for the rest of the semester.
