Math 432/532 Topology
Spring 2013


Homework and reading assignments:

Unless otherwise noted, all homework assignments are due by the end of class on Friday. Presentation problems will be presented each Friday during class. I reccommend at least skimming the relevant reading assignments before they are covered in class. After we have gone over the material together, go back and review the reading in more depth to make sure everything makes sense.
