Constructing loops in a plane curve --- CAG L22

We describe the first homology of a curve. Discuss how projecting a plane curve helps us view the curve as a ramified cover of P1. We show how to find points of ramification. We demonstrate how one can explicitly construct the loops giving a basis for the homology of a plane curve using the ramification points.
