Basics in Mathematics - Geometry

This course will give an introduction to point set topology, surfaces and n-manifolds and, time permitting, simplicial complexes and graphs. It will provide basic concepts which will be used in the courses Discrete aspects of geometry and topology and Computational aspects of geometry and topology.
