There will be several homeworks. As a requirement to take the final exam students must submit solutions to at least one homework. The final exam will be an oral exam.

Literature -

Last update: Roman Golovko, Ph.D. (22.09.2020)

A. Hatcher "Algebraic Topology"

Requirements to the exam -

Last update: Roman Golovko, Ph.D. (18.09.2020)

For the oral part of the exam it is necessary to know the whole content of lecture.

You will get time to write a preparation for the oral part which the knowledge of definitions, theorems and their proofs is tested.

We test as well the understanding to the lecture, you will have to prove an easy theorem which follows from statements from the lecture.
