Dendroidal topology is an extension of simplical topology, geared towards the theory of operads and of infinity-operads. In the first part of the course, we will discuss topological operads and their algebras, and the Boardman-Vogt resolution. Next, we will introduce the category of dendroidal sets, and the corresponding notion of infinity operad. This will naturally include a discussion of the Joyal model structure on simplicial sets and the corresponding notion of infinity category. We will discuss several models for the homotopy theory of dendroidal sets, e.g.
