This lecture explores how cellular homology can be applied to compute homology groups, focusing on examples like the orientable closed compact surface of genus 2 and the projective plane. The instructor demonstrates how to calculate homology groups for different surfaces and explains the concept of Euler characteristic, showing its independence of the choice of a CW complex structure and its homotopy invariance.
