Event Title

:

An Introduction to finite dimensional Degree and its Applications
Abstract :

We will basically motivate the definition of degree. We will assume 'Sards Theorem' for continuously differentiable function and discuss the various properties of degree. Then we discuss the applications of degree theory to prove some theorem in complex analysis and algebraic topology such as Brouwer's fixed point theorem, Borsuk Ulam, Ljusternik-Schnirelmann Theorem, Rouches Theorem etc.
