List of advanced topics in geometry
Nearing the end of the semester (Weeks 13, 14, and 15), you are expected to be able to to one of the following:
- A statement and a proof of Stokes' theorem using differential forms
- Maxwell's equation and abelian gauge theory
- A proof of the theorem of Morse
- Lie groups, Lie algebras, and adjoint representations
- Weekly mock teaching practice. Three topics from middle and high school geometry of your choice. For each topic, you will give a 20-minute long mock lecture in each week. Your lecture will be video-recorded and openly discussed in class. After that the recorded video file will be deleted of course.
