A. A Glimpse Into The Topology via Metric Spaces ( Aakash Gupta):
This short course aims to develop basic analytical skills for undergraduate students to make them well-equipped to understand one of the most beautiful and abstract branches of mathematics called "Topology".
The Tentative Plan:
1) The motivation, Formal Definition of Metric Spaces, and the examples.
2) Some Special kinds of sets associated with Metric Spaces namely Balls, Open and Closed Sets, and a few properties of them.
3)The continuous maps between two metric spaces, An equivalence relation on a collection of all metric spaces.
4) Understanding the nature of sets in Metric Spaces with various properties like Connectedness, Compactness, T-2 axiom, and examples including the standard spaces like GL_n(R) and discrete Metric Spaces.
5) A Layman's Introduction to Topology, Formal Definition of Topology and Examples, Comparison of Topological Spaces and Metric Spaces.
We plan to cover topic 1) to 4) in the first 5 lectures
and topic 5) in the 6th lecture.
