Topology: The mathematics of shape

From point-set topology to manifolds: sets, topological spaces, basis of topology, and properties of spaces such as compact, connected, and Hausdorff. Maps between spaces and their properties, including continuity, homeomorphism, and homotopy.

Constructing spaces via subspace, product, identification, and cell complexes. Manifolds. Additional topics from algebraic and low-dimensional topology may include fundamental group and Seifert-van Kampen theorem, classification of surfaces, and topics in knot theory. Throughout, examples of spaces will include Euclidean spaces, surfaces (real projective plane, Klein bottle, Mobius strip), complexes, function spaces, and others.
