Analysis, Geometry and Topology Group

Overview - Research - Undergraduates - Graduates - Seminar series

Most questions in analysis, geometry and topology were originally based upon problems that arose from the world around us. However, this is not the primary interest. The main aim is to deduce deep connections between known concepts, thus increasing our understanding of “continuous mathematics”. Many of the deepest result in Mathematics come from analysis.
