However\, the concept is often introdu ced without a careful explanation. In this talk\, I will present a pedagog ical approach to understanding degrees of freedom by analyzing simple (but not trivial!) mechanical systems. We will emphasize the role played by to pology and geometry\, and demonstrate how this approach provides a physica l introduction to topology.\n\nLocation: Hybride Pav.
