Reading of the book 'Algebraic Topology' by Hatcher (2022 edition or later)

Step-by-step gentle reading of the book with regular online discussions about each section, including sharing of other resources (Wikipedia articles, blog posts, algorithms / open source code, illustrations, ..)
Novice

Description
As stated above, this is a PG level course in Mathematics, which requires basic knowledge of Linear algebra, Point set topology, and group theory.This course is central to many areas in modern mathematics. The subject itself saw tremendous growth during 1950 and currently has attained a matured status.
The syllabus I have chosen is common to MA5102 at IIT Bombay and AFS-III program of National Centre for Mathematics. It has enough material common to the syllabi followed by several Universities and IIT’s in the country and goes beyond. Nevertheless it has different flavour liked by variety of students. I have published a book in which one-third of the content is roughly the present course. This book is followed by several universities abroad also for their course.
INTENDED AUDIENCE :Anybody who would like to get trained in Algebraic Topology such as Computer scientists, Electrical , Aerospace engineers and mathematicians, and physicists.PREREQUISITES : Point Set Topology is pre-requisite. Exposure to Basics of Linear algebra and Group theory is preferred.INDUSTRIES SUPPORT :All IIT’s, IISERs , TIFR and Universities in India.

Join a group of like-minded people who want to learn and grow alongside you
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Our study groups (all of them) are free to join
You join the group and study the MOOC together on a schedule. The exact dates, deadlines, are created by the host
This depends on the host of your group. Some groups have weekly video calls for accountability + doubt solving.
Moocable is a community where you can find study partners, mentors, or people to collaborate on projects. It's designed for people who want to upskill, but struggle with self-learning. Users often post about their skills, goals, and what they're looking to learn or work on, and others can respond to form partnerships or groups. You can join our community
