An Introduction to Algebraic Topology - (Graduate Texts in Mathematics) by Joseph J Rotman

About the Book

This book offers a detailed exposition, with exercises, of the basic ideas of algebraic topology: homology, homotopy groups, and cohomology rings. Avoiding excessive generality, the author explains the origins of abstract concepts as they are introduced.

Book Synopsis

This book is a clear exposition, with exercises, of the basic ideas of algebraic topology: homology (singular, simplicial, and cellular), homotopy groups, and cohomology rings. It is suitable for a two- semester course at the beginning graduate level, requiring as a prerequisite a knowledge of point set topology and basic algebra.
