The ``official`` /sci/ homotopy theory reading group is now expanding its options of study to include two other subjects - differential topology and measure theory. All are welcome to take part in studying either one (or more than one) of these topics. For homotopy theory, differential topology, and measure theory we are using Strom, Lee, and Cohn respectively.
We are using Element.io (Matrix) and Stackoverflow teams to facilitate serious discussion of these topics, as the latter serves as a searchable archive.
The prerequisites are the following: For homotopy theory, it is required that the student have a solid relationship with topology and some with group theory. Any further algebraic results will be discussed. For differential topology, you should have a solid relationship with topology as well as topics discussed in an early undergraduate course in real analysis. For measure theory, one should be aware of Riemann integration as discussed in an introductory analysis class. A superficial relationship with topology is recommended, but not required.
