Learning Outcomes
1. State and prove standard results regarding topological spaces and continuous functions, and decide whether a simple unseen statement about them is true, providing a proof or counterexample as appropriate.
2. Calculate simple topological invariants, such as the number of path components.
3. State and prove standard results regarding compact and/or connected topological spaces, and decide whether a simple unseen statement about them is true, providing a proof or counterexample as appropriate.
4. Provide an elementary example illustrating specified behaviour in relation to a given combination of basic definitions and key theorems across the course.
