"The Adams Spectral Sequence"

In this second lecture of the series we illustrate the spectral sequence formalism by computing some examples of the Leray-Serre spectral sequence. This tool was introduced in Serre's thesis to compute the cohomology of fibre bundles, and is much simpler to conceptualize and execute than the Adams spectral sequence. We will emphasise multiplicativity and naturality as useful tools for performing these calculations.
