END OF MIDTERM 1 MATERIAL

We also covered function spaces but I won't include these on the midterm.
Material for Midterm 2


homotopic, homotopy, nullhomotopic, path homotopic,straightline homotopy
fundamental group (or first homotopy group)
-depends on base point
-continuous maps induce homomorphims of fund. gps.
simply connected

COVERING SPACES
evenly covered, covering map
fundamental group of circle (using covering spaces)
lifting correspondence

retraction, retract
brouwer fixed point theorem
deformation retract, deformation retraction
homotopy type, homotopy inverse, homotopy equivalence

using covering theory to get results about some fundametal groups like torus, certain surfaces and wedge of circles

Free product of groups
Extension property

SEIFERT-VAN KAMPEN THEOREM
-using this to compute the fundamental group of a quotient of a polygonal region.
I will not ask you about higher homotopy groups and you are not required to know the details of CW complexes.
