This lecture introduces the concept of a universal cover of a topological space, focusing on the criteria for lifting maps, the definition of a covering space, and the properties of a locally simply connected space. The instructor explains the necessary conditions for a space to have a universal cover and provides examples of spaces that do not meet these conditions.
