This will be a rapid course on spectral sequences. Spectral sequences are an incredibly powerful computational tool in algebra and topology. Roughly speaking, spectral sequences give I will discuss the general theory of spectral sequences (constructions, convergence, structure) as well as specific applications. Recommended literature: McCleary's "A user's guide to spectral sequences", Weibel's "Homological algebra", and Kono and Tamaki's "Generalized cohomology".
