-KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
THE COURSE "TOPOLOGY" AIMS TO INTRODUCE STUDENTS TO THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF GENERAL TOPOLOGY AND ALGEBRAIC TOPOLOGY.
THE FIRST PART IS CONCERNED WITH THE STUDY OF TOPOLOGICAL SPACES AND THEIR STRUCTURE-PRESERVING FUNCTIONS (CONTINUOUS FUNCTIONS). THE STUDENTS WILL BE INTRODUCED TO THE GENERAL STRUCTURE OF A TOPOLOGICAL SPACE, THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW TOPOLOGICAL SPACES FROM OLD, THE TOPOLOGICAL PROPERTIES INVARIANTS UNDER CONTINUOUS MAPPINGS (AMONG OTHERS COMPACTNESS AND CONNECTEDNESS).
THE BASIC GOAL OF THE SECOND PART IS TO STUDY SOME PROPERTIES OF TOPOLOGICAL SPACES AND MAPS BETWEEN THEM BY ASSOCIATING ALGEBRAIC INVARIANTS TO EACH SPACE. TWO WAYS IN WHICH THIS CAN BE DONE ARE THROUGH FUNDAMENTAL GROUPS, OR MORE GENERALLY HOMOTOPY THEORY, AND THROUGH HOMOLOGY AND COHOMOLOGY GROUPS.
ON SATISFYING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS COURSE, THE STUDENT WILL HAVE THE FOLLOWING KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS.
•UNDERSTAND THE FUNDAMENTAL IDEAS IN GENERAL AND ALGEBRAIC TOPOLOGY.
•EXPLAIN CLEARLY THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF GENERAL AND ALGEBRAIC TOPOLOGY.

-APPLICATION SKILLS
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
•DEMONSTRATE EFFICIENT USE OF TOPOLOGY TECHNIQUES, BY APPLYING THEM TO PROBLEM-SOLVING.
•DEMONSTRATE CAPACITY FOR MATHEMATICAL REASONING THROUGH ANALYZING, PROVING AND EXPLAINING PROPOSITIONS AND CONCEPTS FROM TOPOLOGY.


-JUDGEMENT AUTONOMY
STUDENTS WILL BE GUIDED TO IMPROVE THEIR CRITICAL ABILITIES BY LEARNING ALL WHAT WILL BE DEALT WITH IN CLASS, AND TO ENRICH THEIR JUDGEMENT THROUGH THE STUDY OF THE DIDACTIC MATERIAL INDICATED BY THE PROFESSOR.


-COMMUNICATION SKILLS
THE STUDENT WILL HAVE TO PRESENT IN A CLEAR AND RIGOROUS WAY BOTH THEORETICAL AND APPLICATIVE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE.


Prerequisites
