This course continues the study (begun in MATH 131 and MATH 172) of the topological properties of subsets of Euclidean space, developing algebraic tools like homology (the proper context for Stokes’ theorem from MATH 131) and fundamental groups, with an emphasis on finite simplicial complexes. Further topics may include knot theory and topological modeling in psychology.

Prerequisites: MATH 131 and MATH 172, or permission.

Instructor: Mr. Rudolph

When Offered: Offered every other year

Faculty: Lee Rudolph, Ph.D. - Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science
