Description for A User's Guide to Algebraic Topology (Mathematics and Its Applications (closed))
Hardcover. Suitable for both instructional and reference use during and after a first course in algebraic topology, this title features the many pictures to illustrate the fundamental ideas and constructions in homotopy theory. It shows how to calculate homotopy groups, homology groups and cohomology rings of most of the major theories. Series: Mathematics and its Applications. Num Pages: 410 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBM; PBPD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 23. Weight in Grams: 1700.
We have tried to design this book for both instructional and reference use, during and after a first course in algebraic topology aimed at users rather than developers; indeed, the book arose from such courses taught by the authors. We start gently, with numerous pictures to illustrate the fundamental ideas and constructions in homotopy theory that are needed in later chapters. A certain amount of redundancy is built in for the reader's convenience: we hope to minimize :fiipping back and forth, and we have provided some appendices for reference. The first three are concerned with background material in algebra, general ... Read more
