Description for Simplicial Structures in Topology (CMS Books in Mathematics)
Hardcover. Provides an introduction to the subject. This book is more in tune with the development of algebraic topology as given by Henry Poincare. Series: CMS Books in Mathematics. Num Pages: 259 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 234 x 156 x 15. Weight in Grams: 1200.
Simplicial Structures in Topology provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the subject. Ideas are developed in the first four chapters. The fifth chapter studies closed surfaces and gives their classification. The last chapter of the book is devoted to homotopy groups, which are used in short introduction on obstruction theory. The text is more in tune with the original development of algebraic topology as given by Henry Poincaré (singular homology is discussed). Illustrative examples throughout and extensive exercises at the end of each chapter for practice enhance the text. Advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students will benefit from this ...

Reviews for Simplicial Structures in Topology (CMS Books in Mathematics)
From the reviews: “The book under review is a modern and enlightened exposition of those finite combinatorial structures and of the simplicial algebraic topology … . Ferrario (Univ. di Milano-Bicocca, Italy) and Piccinini (Dalhousie Univ., Canada) aim to develop the simplicial homology and cohomology of finite simplicial complexes, and of their geometric realizations … with an eye to reaching ...
