Course Objective

This course aims to provide an introduction to theory of curvatures and homologies, analyses the appraisal of particular geometric theories; investigates the concepts, theories and basic principles of reasoning which are part and parcel of the discipline of mathematics. The course discusses the relationship between geometry and homology.
