From UCL Undergrad Maths Colloquium

21 January Meeting: Maths Dept Room 807 – 5pm

Topology Problem Class - Nadine Amersi and Matthew Eric Bassett

This is a problem class to follow up from last week's talk (for those who missed last weeks talk, please feel free to come, just take a look at the notes.) We'll start with a review of last week's talk and then get into some problems. Here are some that we may be working on during the class:

1) Construct a topology on R so that you can find a sequence that converges to more than one point.

(More coming soon.)
