Topology I

Catalog description

Sometimes referred to as rubber-sheet geometry, topology is the branch of geometry concerning those properties which remain unchanged by any bending or stretching, as long as there is no cutting or pasting. Topics will include topological spaces, open and closed sets, continuous functions, interior and limit points, boundary, compactness and connectedness. Also, students will learn how to construct new topological spaces from old ones. The course will include a final project involving an introduction to some more advanced concepts. Prerequisite(s): MS 181 .
