Welcome to MAT3500/MAT4500

This is the fall 2024 semester page for the course MAT3500/MAT4500 - Topology.  We will use the textbook "Topology" (second edition) by James Munkres, supplemented by the lecture notes

• /studier/emner/matnat/math/MAT4500/h24/topology.pdf

which are based on chapters 1-5, 7 and 9 of that book.  Last updates:

• August 27: correction in Remark 2.1.14.
• October 7: Sections 3.1 and 3.2 assume that (path) connected spaces are nonempty.
• October 23: minor additions in Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.7.
• November 5: updated claim numbers in proof of Urysohn's lemma.

The topics to be outlined during the Tuesday and Wednesday lectures will be listed on the semester schedule

• /studier/emner/matnat/math/MAT4500/h24/timeplan/index.html

and the exercises (from Munkres' book) to be discussed during the Thursday problem sessions will also be listed on that schedule.
