"Once Morse Unto The Breach, Dear Friends"

In this final talk of the term we will finish our discussion regarding the existence of Morse functions on manifolds in Euclidean space. In fact, as was teased at the end of the last talk, we will be able to find a very large number of such functions. This has some interesting applications, which we will also examine.
