In this session we talked about the following:
-Definition of Topological Manifolds
-Some background and motivation for studying Multilinear Algebra
-An overview of Tensors, especially Alternating Tenors
Presenter: Pegah Mohammadipour
We covered the notions of tangent spaces, tangent bundles and vector fields. We also discussed some of their properties and learned that differentiation is defined on this new frame work.
