Graduate student participates in geometry and topology summer school

Thomas Credeur, one of our mathematics PhD students, participated in the Second Chicago Summer School in Geometry and Topology at the University of Chicago, July 25-29, 2016.  Please join us as we congratulate Thomas for having  been accepted to participate in this noteworthy endeavor.

This summer school was the second in a series of NSF funded summer schools in geometry and topology at the University of Chicago. These summer schools introduce advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students to a broad range of topics that are important to topology. This year the focus was on algebraic topology at a level accessible to undergraduate and graduate students with a solid background in the fundamental group, covering spaces, and the basics of homology and cohomology.
