DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/VCUcolloq/5/
 ">An Introduction to Topology & Geometry\, Applications\, and NSF Funding 
 Opportunities for Students</a>\nby Swatee Naik and Christopher Stark (NSF)
  as part of VCU Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Colloquium Series\n\n\
 nAbstract\nResearch level mathematics comes in many different flavors. Top
 ology is a branch of mathematics concerned with a study of flexible shapes
 . Topological methods are not only useful in mathematics\, but they have f
 ascinated scientists since the 1800s. The 2016 Nobel prize in Physics was 
 awarded to three physicists who used topological notions to study phases o
 f matter such as superconductivity and suprafluidity.  \n \nIn this talk\,
  we will introduce some basic concepts from geometry and topology through 
 diagrams and informal explanations\, and mention some applications. The ta
 lk should be accessible to undergraduate students who have studied Calculu
 s. \n \nIn the second half of this talk\, we will present an overview of N
 SF opportunities for students.\n
