“There’s Morse Where That Came From”

We will continue covering the background required to get stuck in to Milnor’s Morse Theory. We will finish talking about CW-complexes and then cover smooth manifolds, tangent spaces and smooth functions between manifolds. With a bit of luck we will get through some of the basic definitions of Morse Theory. Come along if you dare!
