Course Objective

The aim of this course is to give an interest of topological invariants of a space in algebraic topology with aid of homology theory. We intend to understand the geometric concepts by using algebraic tools.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1	will be able to know notions of singular homology, cohomology and homotopy groups
2	will be able to calculate the homology groups of naturally occurring topological spaces
3	will be able to use homology groups to say something about the homotopy type of a topological space
4	will be able to know duality theorems
5	will be able to know the relations between homotopy and homology groups
