Lecture notes & course materials
Selected historical course materials, presentation slides, guest lecture notes and reading references in topology, geometry and dynamics. This is not a current course schedule or a complete teaching record. Dates refer to the course or event unless otherwise noted; authorship is identified separately for each collection.

My course materials & slides
2021 · Geometry and Topology workshop Turkey III
Presentation by Harry Hyungryul Baik, March 2021.
Fall 2017 · MAS430 Combinatorial Topology
Course instructor and materials: Harry Hyungryul Baik. These are the available homework and quiz files; additional assignments announced in text remain on the 2017 course webpage.
Spring 2017 · MAS583 Introduction to Geometric Topology
Course instructor and exam: Harry Hyungryul Baik. 2017 course webpage.
Guest lecture notes & exercises
2021 · Partial hyperbolic dynamics in dimension 3
Lecturer: Sergio Fenley, March 2021. The source does not identify the note-taker. See the online mini-course archive for the original abstract and recording information.
2019 · Projection complexes and applications
Lecturer and exercise author: Mladen Bestvina. The author’s course resources also list research papers; those papers are references, not lecture notes.
2018 · Topics in Geometric Group Theory
Notes by Haesong Seo, dated July 12, 2018, from lectures by Mladen Bestvina, Thomas Koberda, Kenichi Ohshika and Koji Fujiwara. See the 2018 summer-school program (MAS481).
2018 · Introduction to Out(Fn)
Lecturer and author: Mladen Bestvina. Files are linked at their original host; see the author’s course page for the outline.
2017 · Special lecture series in MAS583
Lecturer: Mladen Bestvina. Notes by Hyunsik Shin. The MAS583 course page links a shared Dropbox folder. The folder’s landing page was reachable, but access to the actual note files has not been verified; this is not a verified PDF download.
Historical course pages
2019 · Introduction to mapping class groups and their normal generators
Lecturer: Harry Baik. Summer-school program, course outline and reading list. This is a program and reference list, not a Baik-authored lecture-note PDF.
Summer 2016 · Torsion homology growth
Archived Bonn seminar page: overview and talk schedule. Listed in Baik’s teaching archive; the page names Ursula Hamenstädt and Mark Pedron as joint organizers. Its historical Google Drive attachment requires access (anonymous request returned HTTP 401), and attachment authorship is unverified. The archive page is provided here rather than a public-download claim.
Winter 2015–16 · V5D4 Hyperbolic Geometry
Instructor: Harry Hyungryul Baik. Archived course overview and bibliography. This is a course page, not a Baik-authored lecture-note PDF.
Further reading & access notes
The following are works by other authors. Dates below identify the referring course, not the publication year of the work. No new copies are hosted here.
- J. Alonso — Group theory notes. Reading for MAS430, Fall 2017: Group theory notes (PDF; 2017 course reference).
- M. Kapovich — Hyperbolic manifolds and discrete groups. Reference for Winter 2015–16 Hyperbolic Geometry: Author-hosted book (PDF; 2015–16 course reference).
- Caroline Series — lecture notes cited by the 2019 mapping class groups course. Access unverified: the original reference host could not be resolved during checking. Consult the 2019 program’s reading list; no working download is claimed here.
- W. Thurston — The geometry and topology of 3-manifolds. Reference for Winter 2015–16. Access unverified: the original MSRI reference timed out, which does not establish that it is broken. Consult the course bibliography.
About this archive
This index brings together resources already cited on the Teaching archive, Lecture Videos & Mini-courses, and preserved summer-school programs, plus files linked by their original course pages. Existing local PDFs are reused without alteration; other available files remain at their original hosts. Access notes reflect checks in October 2026, not a guarantee of future availability.
