# Spring School on Algebraic Topology

The first meeting of Spring School on Algebraic Topology was held in March 2013 at Faculty of Science, Shinshu University. The main theme for the first meeting was spectral sequence'', which is one of the most fundamental computational tools in algebraic topology. Yes. We compute spectral sequences in algebraic topology. On the other hand, spectral sequences are used as a tool to aid proofs in other areas such as algebraic geometry. There will be how to'' talks on important spectral sequences used in algebraic topology.
• Date: March 8, 9, and 10, 2013
