Course Overview

The Introduction To Algebraic Topology (Part-I) Certification course is a master's level program and requires fundamental knowledge in the field of point-set topology and group theory. The course also touches upon the modern aspects of mathematics. The course will be offered to the candidates by IIT, Bombay and the syllabus of the Introduction To Algebraic Topology (Part-I) program is similar to the program of the National Centre for Mathematics. The course deals with different topics throughout the syllabus like path homotopy, convex geometry, covering spaces, and many more topics which gives a variety of knowledge to the students.

The Introduction To Algebraic Topology (Part-I) certification syllabus of the course can be completed according to the pace of the candidate although the set timing for the completion of the training is 3 months. Candidates need not buy any external study material or notes as the course includes the full package of study material, assignments, tests, fonts clearing discussion platform, etc. The other benefits of the Introduction To Algebraic Topology (Part-I) by Swayam include a certification which will be provided to the students only if they acquire the passing grades in the exam and register for the same by paying the exam fees.
