Math 196/296 - Student Colloquium

Nitya Kitchloo

UCSD

What is a space, and how do you study it?

Abstract:

I will introduce ``spaces", the basic object of study in geometry and topology. I will try to motivate these objects and describe how one may study them. Concepts like vector fields and Euler characteristics will be introduced. We may go into more complicated constructions if time permits. \vskip .1in \noindent Refreshments will be provided!
