Description

Modern algebraic topology is a broad and vibrant field which has seen recent progress on classical problems as well as exciting new interactions with applied mathematics.  This summer school will consist of a series of lecture by experts on major research directions, including several lectures on applied algebraic topology.  Participants will also have the opportunity to have guided interaction with the seminal texts in the field, reading and speaking about the foundational papers.
