Book Summary
In most major universities one of the three or four basic firstyear graduate
mathematics courses is algebraic topology. This introductory text is suitable
for use in a course on the subject or for self-study, featuring broad coverage
and a readable exposition, with many examples and exercises. The four main
chapters present the basics: fundamental group and covering spaces, homology and
cohomology, higher homotopy groups, and homotopy theory generally. The author
emphasizes the geometric aspects of the subject, which helps students gain
intuition. A unique feature is the inclusion of many optional topics not usually
part of a first course due to time constraints: Bockstein and transfer
homomorphisms, direct
