Kan Seminar, Spring 2012
Cotaught with John Francis.
This is an intensive seminar in which students will give talks on classic papers of algebraic topology. Each participant will give three talks; the choice of papers will be made in consultation with the instructors. All talks will be preceded by a practice talk and significant discussion.Here is the suggested paper list.
