Topology is a relatively young and very important branch of mathematics. It studies properties of objects that are preserved by deformations, twistings, and stretchings, but not tearing. This book deals with the topology of curves and surfaces as well as with the fundamental concepts of homotopy and homology, and does this in a lively and well-motivated way. There is hardly an area of mathematics that does not make use of topological results and concepts. The importance of topological methods for different areas of physics is also beyond doubt. They are used in field theory and general relativity, in the physics ... Read more

Reviews for Intuitive Combinatorial Topology
From the reviews: "An introduction to the topology of curves and surfaces, homotopy and homology with an emphasis on concepts and motivation rather than on theorems and proofs. Accessible to non-mathematicians. Includes a section on topology in physics. Many problems and illustrations throughout." (American Mathematical Monthly, August/September, 2002) "The discussion is clear and it is all ... Read more
