Owen Lynch (Dec 10 2020 at 08:44):Would anyone be interested in a reading group on Robert Ghrist's Elementary Applied Topology?
A lot of the math should be familiar to anyone who has taken a course in algebraic topology, but it's presented in interestingly different ways, and there are a lot of diagrams to puzzle over (none of the diagrams are explicitly referenced in the text, or have any captions). It's also beautifully typeset: https://www2.math.upenn.edu/~ghrist/notes.html

I started reading it and then I got lost in another million of things to do. I am not sure I can commit enough time to make it, but for sure I would be interested.
