Description:
The aim of this reading course is to continue reading Markus Land’s “Introduction to Infinity Categories” and discuss some of the book’s exercises. There will also be dedicated time for presenting applications of the theory. We shall meet at least every second week, and at least five times. At the end of each meeting, we agree on the workload until the next meeting. Thus, the main workload lies in individual active reading and solving exercises.
