Here are three starting questions for the exam. At the start of the exam you draw one of these at random, and you will be given around 10-15 minutes to present your solution. After that we continue with further examination questions.
Note: the place of the examination will be room 720 in Niels Henrik Abels Hus.
This week we finished repetition of the material. Next week I propose we have no lecture on Wednesday, while we can meet on Thursday (May 19) at the usual room. I don't plan on giving a lecture then, but I can be available for questions and discussions.
Today we agreed upon the following dates for the final oral exam:
June 1 and 2
If you have strong preferences toward one or the other, please let me know.
After discussing with the external sensor we suggest having the final oral exam around the first week of June. It will probably go over two days. We can agree together on the exact dates.
Here is the mandatory assignment.
Please hand in via Canvas by April 21, 14:30.
See Chapter 14 of Fulton's Algebraic Topology.
As pointed out to me yesterday, exercise 4.2 in the category theory notes is unclear as stated. The implication should go just one way, I have updated the notes taking this into account. Thanks for the correction!
Dear all,
It seems I was not able to completely recover form the cold yet, so to be on the safe side I've decided to do also this week's lectures on zoom. Sorry again for the inconvenience.

Here is a short note on the category theory that will be relevant in this course. I will probably also say a little on this in the lectures.
Dear all,
I woke up with a slight cold today - it is not covid according to the self test, but I should nevertheless avoid showing up in person so as to not risk infecting you.
Therefore I have to change today's (Wed. Jan 19) and tomorrow's lectures into digital zoom lectures instead. I am very sorry and apologize for the short notice and the inconvenience. Unless I tell you otherwise, we continue next week with ordinary in person lectures.

Because this is a master's course with few students, the university has decided that we may hold the first lectures as normally, provided everyone wears masks.
We will therefore meet, with masks on and appropriate distancing, in room 1119 in NHA on Wednesday, January 19th for the first lecture. There we will start with some practical information about the course, some motivation and then start on Chapter 1 in Hatcher.
Welcome to Algebraic Topology I - a first course on algebraic topology.
We will use Hatcher's book, which is available online from Hatcher's website:
http://pi.math.cornell.edu/~hatcher/AT/ATpage.html
Occasionally we may also consult May's book "A concise course in algebraic topology",
