Description for Operads in Algebra, Topology and Physics (Mathematical Surveys and Monographs)
Paperback. Operads are mathematical devices that describe algebraic structures of many varieties and in various categories. Operads are particularly important in categories with a good notion of 'homotopy', where they play a key role in organizing hierarchies of higher homotopies. This book offers an introduction describing the development of operad theory. Series: Mathematical Surveys and Monographs. Num Pages: 349 pages. BIC Classification: PBF; PBM; PBP. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 256 x 176 x 19. Weight in Grams: 628.
'Operads are powerful tools, and this is the book in which to read about them' - ""Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society"". Operads are mathematical devices that describe algebraic structures of many varieties and in various categories. Operads are particularly important in categories with a good notion of 'homotopy', where they play a key role in organizing hierarchies of higher homotopies. Significant examples from algebraic topology first appeared in the sixties, although the formal definition and appropriate generality were not forged until the seventies.
