Morse Theory Learning Seminar

Hanming Liu, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

"Introduction"

We will be reading Audin and Damian's book "Morse Theory and Floer Homology". In this introductory talk, I will briefly talk about why symplectic geometers and geometric topologists would want to study Morse theory, and then present chapter 1 and the beginning of chapter 2.
