Course Name: Introduction to Algebraic Topology (Part-II)

Course abstract

As stated above, this is PG level course in Mathematics, which requires basic knowledge of Linear algebra, Point set topology, and group theory.This course is central to many areas in modern mathematics. The subject itself saw tremendous growth during 1950 and currently has attained a matured status.The syllabus I have chosen is common to MA5102 at IIT Bombay and AFS-III program of National Centre for Mathematics. It has enough material common to the syllabus followed by several Universities and IIT’s in the country and goes beyond. Nevertheless it has different flavour liked by variety of students. I have published a book in which one-third of the content is roughly the present course. This book is followed by several universities abroad also for their course.

Prof. Anant R. Shastri

I am a retired Emeritus Fellow of Department of Mathematics I.I. T. Bombay. After serving in School of Mathematics T.I.F.R. for 16 years I joined I.I.T. Bombay as a full professor in 1988.Apart from several research papers,in Algebraic and Differential Topology, Algebraic Geometry, Relativity theory, Group theory, etc.,I have published three books.Since 2004, I have constantly involved in the activities of ATM schools, The chief activity of these schools is to impart advanced training in Mathematics to Ph. D. students in various universities and research institutions in the country. These activities were initially funded by NBHM and currently adapted by National Centre for Mathematics, I.I.T. Bombay.Over the years, I have taught, roughly the contents of the proposed course more that 20 times to M.Sc/ BTech / MTech and Ph. D. students.CDEEP has recorded my lectures on Complex Analysis MA205 for B. Tech students, in 2008.
