Title: Homotopy theory, simplicial objects, and homological algebra
Speaker: John Harper (OSU)
Abstract: We will introduce some basic ideas of modern homotopy theory including derived categories and derived functors, and then explore the deep connection between simplicial objects and homological algebra.
