Bill Robinson, University of Kentucky

Sheaves are constructions that relate ideas of topology, algebraic geometry, and number theory.  In topology, they encode distinctions between local and global properties of a space.  In this talk, we will introduces sheaves and sheaf cohomology and mention a few reasons why you might care about such a thing.  After the talk, the audience will be qualified to use the word "sheafification."
