This lecture is the natural continuation of Algebraic Topology I and will build on the notions acquired there.
After a last result on CW-complexes we will introduce Euler characteristic and homological algebra. Next will come cohomology and the various product structures that it carries, followed by chapters on vector bundles and manifolds. At the end of the lecture we will discuss duality results between homology and cohomology, in particular Poincaré duality.
