| Feb 13, 2018 at 16:56 | comment | added | Praphulla Koushik | @DenisNardin I did not say connections are a prerequisite for characteristic classes. I asked if necessary you can even consider connections to teach characteristic classes | |
| Feb 13, 2018 at 16:41 | comment | added | Denis Nardin | This question seems vague and with the assumption that connections are a prerequisite for characteristic classes. I, for example, learnt about connections years after characteristic classes (that I learned via the study of the cohomology of classifying spaces) | |

| Feb 13, 2018 at 16:16 | comment | added | Praphulla Koushik | which Whitehead's Algebraic Topology textbook are you talking about? Google does not give any result :O @RyanBudney | |
| Feb 13, 2018 at 16:03 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | My preference is the obstruction theoretic techniques -- chapter X in the Milnor-Stasheff notes. If that is a person's first exposure to characteristic classes, perhaps Whitehead's Algebraic Topology textbook would be one of the friendlier introductions. | |

| Feb 13, 2018 at 13:57 | comment | added | Praphulla Koushik | There is no tag for singular cohomology so could not add it here. Wikipedia article is not doing any good for me. I can make it community wiki if necessary. | |
