Classification of manifolds

In mathematics, specifically geometry and topology, the classification of manifolds is a basic question, about which much is known, and many open questions remain. (Wikipedia).

What is a manifold?

I define topological manifolds. Motivated by the prospect of calculus on topological manifolds, I introduce smooth manifolds. At the end I point out how one needs to change the definitions, to obtain C^1 or even complex manifolds. To learn more about manifolds, see Lee's "Introduction to

Manifolds #4: Differentiability

Today, we take a look at a look at how to define the differentiability of a function involving a manifold. This will allow us to define the notion of a tangent vector space in the following video.

Pedram Hekmati: What is a cohomological field theory?

Abstract: Many interesting invariants in geometry satisfy certain glueing or factorisation conditions, that are often useful when doing calculations. Topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) emerged in the 1980s as an organising structure for invariants that are governed by bordisms. I
