AlgTop1: One-dimensional objects

This is the first lecture of this beginner's course in Algebraic Topology (after the Introduction). In it we introduce the two basic one-dimensional objects: the line and circle. The latter has quite a few different manifestations: as a usual Euclidean circle, as the projective line of one-dimensional subspaces of a two-dimensional space, as a polygon, or as a space of orbits of a translation group on the line.

This course is given by Assoc Prof N J WIldberger of the School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW.
