MATH 393 - Topics in Geometry and Topology

Credits: 3

Prerequisite: MATH 342 or 343. Topics vary but can include knot theory, topology and geometry of surfaces, differential geometry, Riemann surfaces, 3-manifolds, tilings, geometric probability, geometry of spacetime, finite geometry, computational geometry, differential topology, and projective geometry. May be repeated for degree credit if the topic is different.

Winter 2020, Math 393A-01: Topic in Geometry and Topology: Black Holes and Time Warps (3). Prerequisite: MATH 342 or 343. An exploration of the geometry of spacetime primarily by looking at black holes. We also visit other related topics, such as the geometry and topology of the universe, warp drives, worm holes and alternate universes. McRae.
