Description for More Concise Algebraic Topology
Hardcover. With firm foundations dating only from the 1950s, algebraic topology is a relatively young area of mathematics. This title addresses the course material, such as fundamental groups, covering spaces, the basics of homotopy theory, and homology and cohomology. It covers topics that are useful for algebraic topologists. Series: Chicago Lectures in Mathematics. Num Pages: 384 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBPD. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 236 x 152 x 39. Weight in Grams: 982.
With firm foundations dating only from the 1950s, algebraic topology is a relatively young area of mathematics. There are very few textbooks that treat fundamental topics beyond a first course, and many topics now essential to the field are not treated in any textbook. J. Peter May's A Concise Course in Algebraic Topology addresses the standard first course material, such as fundamental groups, covering spaces, the basics of homotopy theory, and homology and cohomology. In this sequel, May and his coauthor, Kathleen Ponto, cover topics that are essential for algebraic topologists and others interested in algebraic topology, but ... Read more

Reviews for More Concise Algebraic Topology
All researchers in algebraic topology should have at least a passing acquaintance with the material treated in this book, much of which does not appear in any of the standard texts. (Kathryn Hess, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne)
