MT4521 GEOMETRY AND TOPOLOGY Aims To elucidate the ancient subject of geometry with the modern algebraic insights of group theory and vector spaces, and show how the more recent subject of topology can be fitted into this framework. Objectives Students should be able to explore and calculate in a variety of areas including Euclidean, affine and projective geometries and topology. Syllabus Topics to be covered include: Full and rotational symmetry groups in two and three dimensional Euclidean space, The groups of projective and affine geometries, Topology of surfaces and manifolds.
