What will I learn?
This General Topology Course offers a practical journey from foundational topological spaces and key constructions to compactness, connectedness, and separation axioms. You will gain hands-on experience with homeomorphisms, homotopy, deformation retracts, and fundamental group concepts, while mastering ways to classify spaces using invariants, covering spaces, quotients, and precise written proofs.
