Course description and aims

This course is an exercise session for the lecture course `Set and Topology II' (ZUA.B203). The materials for exercise are chosen from that course.

Student learning outcomes

Students are expected to
・Understand various equivalent definitions of topology
・Understand that continuity of maps between topological spaces is described in terms of topology
・Understand various kinds of topologies that naturally arise under various settings
・Understand various separation axioms, with various examples
・Be able to prove basic properties of connected and compact spaces
・Learn a lot of basic examples of compact/ non-compact and connected/disconnected spaces
・Understand basic properties of complete metric spaces and examples

Keywords

topology and topological space, neighborhood, first countability, second countability, continuous mapping, induced topology, separation axioms, compact space, connected spaces, path-connectedness, completeness of a metric space

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills
