Seminar 23/03 – Introduction to topology

For the STORM seminar on Friday, March 23, Valentin Roussellet will present an Introduction to topology.

Abstract
This quick introduction lecture to topology will help you answer the following questions :
What is the difference between a doughnut and a mug ? What do we mean when we talk about manifolds ? If you’re submerged, are you also immerged ?
It will cover the basic concepts of topology such as open and closed sets, manifolds, maps and atlas, trying to make the link with our usage of these concepts in computer graphics.
