Course description:
This course will be taught in a variant of the "Kan seminar"
style, where many (but not all) of the lectures will be given by
students. The first third of the class will consist of lectures on
basic notions in geometry/topology which everyone should
know (e.g. characteristic classes, cobordism, K-theory). The
second two thirds will consist of lectures on topics of interest to
the students. Students will read original important papers and
present on them. Homework will be periodically assigned so
that all participants get practice with new concepts. Contact
instructor if interested in attending.
