Course description and aims

Topological K-theory is one of the generalized cohomology theories, and roughly classifies vector bundles over topological spaces. This lecture start with an exposition the definition and basic properties of vector bundles, and then introduces topological K-theory.

Student learning outcomes

-to understand basic properties of vector bundles.
-to understand a definition of topological K-theory.
