Fundamental group of a compact manifold
Every compact manifold has the homotopy type of a finite CW-complex, and a finite CW-complex has finitely presented fundamental group by van Kampen's theorem.

Topological Classification of Four-Manifolds
Suppose you can classify all open 4-manifolds. In particular you can classify all manifolds of the form $M^4 - pt$ where $M^4$ is a closed 4-manifold, and consequently you can classify all closed 4-m …

What should be taught in a 1st course on smooth manifolds?
I think there are two ways to approach a first course on manifolds: one can focus on either their geometry or their topology.
If you want to focus on geometry, then I think Anton Petrunin's suggestio …
