This book introduces the important ideas of algebraic topology by
emphasizing the relation of these ideas with other areas of mathematics.
Rather than choosing one point of view of modern topology (homotropy
theory, axiomatic homology, or differential topology, say) the author
concentrates on concrete problems in spaces with a few dimensions,
introducing only as much algebraic machinery as necessary for the
problems encountered. This makes it possible to see a wider variety of
important features in the subject than is common in introductory texts;
it is also in harmony with the historical development of the subject.
The book is aimed at students who do not necessarily intend on
specializing in algebraic topology.Download
