MATH 563 - Geometric Topology

An overview of methods in geometric topology focused on understanding knots and surfaces. Topics include basic graph theory, including the classification of Platonic solids; simplicial and polygonal descriptions of knots and surfaces; classification of surfaces; and diagrammatic, combinatorial, and geometric techniques in knot theory.
