Book: there is no book required for this course. I will be following Rational homotopy theory by FĂ©lix, Halperin, and Thomas and Rational homotopy theory and differential forms by Griffiths and Morgan.

Course objectives: to understand the connection between rational homotopy types and differential forms as well as the role of rational homotopy theory in applications in algebraic geometry, Riemannian geometry, and commutative algebra.
