Abstract: In this series of talks, we will introduce the fundamental group
and discuss some of its applications including the proof of the
fundamental theorem of algebra. In the first talk, after a quick
discussion of what algebraic topology is, we will give the definition and
some properties of the fundamental group. We will also discuss the picture
hanging problem as a motivation.
