About this document
Lecture 20 by Shamim Akhtar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the concepts of homotopy of paths and the fundamental groupoid in algebraic topology, emphasizing the importance of path homotopy as a way to analyze topological spaces. It defines homotopy, path homotopy, and establishes that the homotopy classes of paths form a groupoid through composition. The fundamental group is then introduced as a specific case of the fundamental groupoid, focusing on loops based at a single point.
