Topology is the abstract study of geometric spaces and their properties that are preserved under bending. An important algebraic tool in topology is the homotopy group, which is used to classify different types of holes in spaces and which are difficult to compute, according to Daniel K. Biss '98, a student whose topology senior thesis Bott is advising...
This theory provided the basis for algebraic K-theory, a field which tries to understand objects by studying the algebraic-geometric structures one can put on it, according to Biss...
...Biss, it seems that Bott's teaching style reflects the emphasis on freedom that he loved as a student...
...teaching style is very conceptual, he tends to give you a skeleton to flesh out," Biss says, "So, if you're motivated, it can be inspiring...
