Goal.
Explaining basic concepts of geometric topology in an intuitive way.

This time.
Lecture “What is...geometric topology?’’; lecture 1.

Disclaimer.
Nobody is perfect, and I might have said something silly. If there is any doubt, then please check the references.

Disclaimer.
Geometric topology is usually the study of manifolds. This can mean manifold things ;-) So to be precise, this lecture is mostly about knots, surfaces, and graphs.

Sorry.
These lectures were automatically recorded via the University of Sydney’s recording system. For some silly reason that I do not know, the first 1-5 Minutes of each lecture are not recorded.
