Book Description:
|
Here is an informal introduction to the main ideas of contemporary homotopy and cohomology theory. Using the de Rham theory of differential forms as a prototype of cohomology, the machineries of algebraic topology are made easier to assimilate. With its stress on concreteness, motivation, and readability, this book is ideal for self-study or for a one- semester course in topology.
