Algebraic Topology 1


Plan of the course:

1. fundamental group and induced homomorphism;
2. fundamental group of the circle;
3. applications: Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem for the 2-disk;
4. van Kampen theorem; fundamental groups of cell complexes;
5. theory of covering spaces;
6. singular and cellular homology.

Plan of the course approximately coincides with the scope of Chapters 1.1-1.3 and 2.1-2.3 in Allen Hatcher's book "Algebraic Topology", which is officially available in the net:

This book is a very good supporting source for this course.
