Title: An introduction to model categories, or, a `to do' list before getting to the homotopy category

 

Abstract: Want to understand a Homotopy Category? You need a model structure first! Don't know what that is? Not a problem! Come to my talk and we will start from the definitions, doing some "clean hand" category theory and hopefully get to some examples without making our hands dirty.
