Title: Free Resolutions and the Betti Numbers
Abstract: For this talk we will start by talking about free resolutions, a central homological object in the next few lectures. We will then explore monomial matrices, a convenient way to write down maps within free resolutions and the Koszul complex, a type of complex of free modules that is given by monomial matrices. We will then discuss the important homological invariant, the Betti numbers.
