Abstract: | Cohomology theory is a powerful mathematical tool. This theory applied to topology is a part of algebraic topology, which
associates algebraic invariants to topological spaces. In this article, we give a brief outline of group cohomology.
R Sridharan has been an Adjunct Professor at the CMI, Chennai since retiring from TIFR, Bombay in 2000 where he was a senior
professor. He is also an INSA senior scientist now. His scholarship permeates to literature (English and Sanskrit) and philosophy
