About this course
Content
The goal with the course is to give a solid background for studies in topology, and develop geometrical ideas and algebraic methods. The course supports studies in related subjects in algebra and geometry. Topics that can be discussed include products and power operations, K-theory, bordism theory, and many others.
Learning outcomes
1. Knowledge. The student has knowledge of advanced topics in algebraic topology. 2. Skills. The student is able to apply his or her knowledge of algebraic topology to formulate and solve problems of a geometric-topological nature.
Teaching methods
The learning methods and activities depend on the lecturer. The course may be taught in English.
The course will be taught as needed. If there are few PhD students, the course is only given as a guided self-study.
