Differential Geometry I, Fall 2021

Weekly Schedule of Lectures

Last updated Thu Aug 19 22:06 EDT 2021

This page is here for the sole reason of meeting a syllabus-requirement that I find counterproductive for this class.

I teach MTG 6256 a little differently each time. The pace and the exact choice of topics are functions of many variables that are unknown before the semester begins, including the overall level of the particular group of students enrolled that year. It would be a waste of time to attempt to write a detailed weekly schedule of lectures, prior to the start of the semester, that I would try to adhere to after the semester begins.

However, a weekly schedule of lectures is a required component of UF syllabi, so below is my attempt to meet that requirement before the syllabus-posting deadline. I will try to flesh it out a little more in the next few days, but even the expanded version will be a very rough estimate.

Weeks 1–2	M 8/23 – F 9/3	Review of Advanced Calculus
Weeks 3–16	W 9/8 – W 12/8	Manifolds
