MAT 525 - Applied Topology

Units: 3
When Offered: Fall (odd years)
This course serves to provide an introduction to various applications of topology concentrating on applications of point-set topology. Topology is a major field of mathematics and is, therefore, worthy of study in and of itself. However, topology also serves to lay the foundation for future study in other fields of mathematics, such as geometry, analysis, and algebraic topology. Furthermore, some of the most exciting applications of mathematics today are that of topology. This course may include discussion of applications to various topics within science, technology, and industry, including chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, cryptography, robotics, and GIS.
