Lectures on algebraic topology/ Haynes Miller

By: Publication details: Singapore: World Scientific, 2023Description: xi, 329 pages; diagrams; 23 cmISBN:
  • 9781944660437
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 23rd 514.2 M647
Contents:
Singular homology -- Computational methods -- Cohomology and duality -- Basic homotopy theory -- The homotopy theory of CW complexes -- Vector bundles and principal bundles -- Spectral sequences and Serre classes -- Characteristic classes, Steenrod operations and cobordism
Summary: Algebraic Topology and basic homotopy theory form a fundamental building block for much of modern mathematics. These lecture notes represent a culmination of many years of leading a two-semester course in this subject at MIT. The style is engaging and student-friendly, but precise. Every lecture is accompanied by exercises. It begins slowly in order to gather up students with a variety of backgrounds, but gains pace as the course progresses, and by the end the student has a command of all the basic techniques of classical homotopy theory.
