Hello,
A bit of background, I intend to major in physics and mathematics, and I am currently in second year. As it stands at the moment I am only enrolled in three units, and I was wondering If I should do, normally a third year unit, Introduction to Geometric Topology, (i can apply for an exception from the normal rules). The reason for this is it would free up my third year for other maths/physics units. I do think I would find topology interesting. Would it require too much knowledge from other second year courses, or would I be able to be successful in it?
I have already covered the "standard" first year units that cover calculus, ODE's, linear algebra,etc comfortably, and this unit does not appear to assume a lot of knowledge from previous units.
The unit in question is;

Thanks in advance
