Textbook

We will use Hatcher's Algebraic Topology and will supplement a bit from his other two books (here and here ).
Syllabus

We will cover higher homotopy groups, homology and cohomology, and additional topics (e.g., stable homotopy groups of spheres, spectral sequences, homological stability).

Grading

Homework will be assigned bi-weekly, roughly 6-7 problems. Students are expected to work on the problems first individually, then to meet as a group to disucss the problems. Each student is expected to submit one LaTeX'd solution for each assignment.

There will also be an "in class" take home final exam.
