Topics Class on Ricci flow (Math 277)

I will be teaching a topics class on Ricci flow this fall semester (August 27-December 3, 2020). The class will be taught over Zoom. You are welcome to attend my class (even if you are not at UC Berkeley). You can email me for the Zoom ID or click on the link below.
