Title: What is Topology?
Speaker: Dr Jonathan Scott
Abstract: A not-too-helpful definition of "topology" is "the study of topological spaces". So what is a topological space? We'll talk about "surfaces", topological spaces that are easy to visualize, like the sphere, the torus, and more exotic surfaces like the projective plane and the Klein bottle. We'll literally cut and glue things like cylinders and Moebius bands to see what they're made of, and then we'll see how these techniques can give us a full "periodic table" of all surfaces.
Pizza and beverages will be provided.
