“Dot dash dash dot. Dot dot dash. Dash dot.”
We will continue working through Milnor's Morse theory, and this week we will be going through theorem 3.5. Given a manifold $M$ and a function $f:M \to \mathbb{R}$, this theorem gives us an explicit cell decomposition of $M$ in terms of the indices of the crit
