Abstract

The present project is an introduction to algebraic topology with the study of some topics in homotopy theory, specifically the study of the fundamental group of a topological space X. Will be seen among other topics: definition, main properties and examples of the fundamental group, the fundamental group as a homotopic invariant, and some examples of calculation of the fundamental group of the union of two spaces. The topics will be developed in a formal way, always looking for a geometric approach, making the student feel the connection between large areas (Algebra and Topology) which we consider very important and beneficial to their training.(AU)
