Assessment

After the completion of the course the students will be able to:

CLO31- Analyze properties of topological spaces and construct various topologies on a general set.

CLO32 Apply the topological concepts and constructions to some chosen real world problems.

CLO33 - Correlate the concept of continuity to compact and connected spaces.

CLO34- - Categorize the separation axioms and produce examples for different topological spaces.

CLO35- Understand the concept of product spaces and quotient spaces.
