General:
- The general ones of the degree; in particular: the understanding and use mathematical language (CE1) and the knowledge of how to abstract the structural properties and be able to prove them with proofs or refute them with counterexamples (CE3, CE4).
- The general ones of the module; in particular: the knowledge and use of the concepts, methods and basic results of Topology, to acquire intuition in the study of abstract topological spaces and to have examples that illustrate diverse properties.
Specific:
- The generalization to topological spaces of concepts already known in Euclidean spaces.
- Understanding, recognition and use of the notions of compactness and connectedness.
- Development of the ability to intuitively recognize homotopic equivalence.
- Computation and use of the fundamental group.
- Topological recognition of compact surfaces and their classification.
Transversal:
- The transversal ones of the module: the practice of formal mathematical writing.
- The use of logical reasoning to solve problems.
- The transformation of topological problems into algebraic problems.
We will follow the general methodology for all the subjects of the degree that appears in the Memory of the Degree in Mathematics.
We will use the general criterion of evaluation for all the subjects of the degree that appears in the Memory of the Degree in Mathematics, granting to the continuous assessment a weight of 30% in the final grade, which will be given by control exams and the solution of problems. In particular, the final grade will be the maximum of the final exam grade and the sum of 30% of the continuous assessment grade with 70% of the final exam grade.
In the second opportunity, the grade of the continuous evaluation of the first opportunity will be maintained.
For cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of students' academic performance and the review of qualifications will apply.
According to the grade memory, the working time necessary to pass the subject is 112.5 hours distributed in the following way:
PRESENTIAL WORK IN THE CLASSROOM
Classes in large group: 28 h.
Small group classes: 14 h.
Sessions in very small groups: 2 h.
Total face-to-face work: 44 h.
PERSONAL WORK
Autonomous study: 45 h.
Writing of exercises or other works: 15 h.
Recommended readings or similar: 7.5 h.
Total personal work: 67.5 h
- Having previously studied the subjects "Topoloxía two espaces euclidianos", "Topoloxía xeral" and "Estruturas alxébricas".
- Attending classes and actively participate in the continuous assessment program.
Contingency plan
If, in any of the possible scenarios, there are attendance restrictions determined by the Faculty, classes that cannot be taught in person will be taught virtually. It will be done through institutional means (Virtual Campus, Teams, Email), preferably synchronously. In this situation, the continuous assessment and/or the final exam may be virtual through the previous means. In the event that the final exam is virtual, it will be compulsory and the final mark will be the sum of 50% of the mark of the continuous assessment with 50% of the mark of the final exam.
