MAS435 Algebraic Topology
Lecturer: Neil Strickland
Module information
The syllabus, timetable and assessment arrangements are
here.
There is no course material on MOLE/Blackboard; everything is
linked from this page instead.
Lectures will be on Mondays at 9 in Lecture Theatre B, and Tuesdays at 1 in Room F24.
Assessment
There will be a final exam, counting for 80% of the grade. The
remaining 20% will be based on Monday quizzes and weekly homeworks.
In each semester there will be 8 quizzes and 8 homeworks, and your
best 5 of each will be counted. There are 4 marks for each quiz
and 10 for each homework. The quizzes will take only a few minutes
and will typically test your understanding of a recent definition
or theorem.
Notes
There is a set of
lecture notes. The
current version covers at least the first semester. I hope to
finish writing notes for the full year fairly soon.
Interactive demonstrations
There are a number of
interactive
demonstrations which illustrate various points in the course.
More will be added as the course progresses. There are also direct
links to these demonstrations in the lecture notes and solutions to
the problem sheets.
Weekly problems and solutions
These will appear here as the course progresses.
You can either hand work in in the Monday lecture, or put it under
my office door, or scan it and send it to me by email. The
deadline is 5pm on Monday. If you want to use your phone as a
scanner, please
use
CamScanner or a
similar app rather than just taking photos.
Monday quizzes
There is a
single file with the question
and solutions for all quizzes that have happened so far.
