Provides an overview of fundamental groups in topology and their applications, focusing on the Seifert-van Kampen theorem and its implications for computing fundamental groups.
Covers the basics of topology, focusing on cohomology and quotient spaces, emphasizing their definitions and properties through examples and exercises.
Covers the combinatorics of the simplex category and its equivalence to topological spaces, as well as the concept of functor categories for cosimplicial and simplicial objects.
Covers the construction of a left adjoint to the singular set functor, comparing the homotopy theory of topological spaces with that of simplicial sets.
