Pointless Topology
Abstract:
The point of topology is to study shapes--and these shapes tend to have points. However, points aren't actually that cool. We will develop a theory of shapes called locales, which is 100% point-free. That is, completely pointless. Then we'll say a few words about the Banach-Tarski Paradox.
