Abstract
The aim of this talk is to give an informal introduction to the fundamentals of Homotopy Type Theory (HoTT). For those of you who slept through Logic 1: don’t worry — my intention is to emphasise the homotopy theoretic aspects of the theory. I will (try to) answer questions like:
– What is a type?
– What is univalence?
– How and why can type theory be used to reason about topological spaces?
