Abstract:
The Serre spectral sequence is a tool for computing (co)homology using bundles (or, more generally, Serre fibrations). In this talk we will introduce the Serre spectral sequence and the path-loop fibration, and use them to compute the cohomology of several Eilenberg-MacLane spaces, and loop spaces of spheres.
