'... clear and concise ... makes the book useful both as a basis for courses and as a reference work.' Monatshefte für Mathematik, ' … this is a marvellous tome, which is indeed a delight to read. This book is destined to become very popular amongst students and teachers alike.' Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society, '… clear and concise … makes the book useful both as a basis for courses and as a reference work.' Monatshefte fr Mathematik, '… the truly unusual abundance of instructive examples and complementing exercises is absolutely unique of such a kind … the distinctly circumspect, methodologically inductive, intuitive, descriptively elucidating and very detailed style of writing give evidence to the fact that the author's first priorities are exactly what students need when working with such a textbook, namely clarity, readability, steady motivation, guided inspiration, increasing demand, and as much self-containedness of the exposition as possible. No doubt, a very devoted and experienced teacher has been at work here, very much so to the benefit of beginners in the field of algebraic topology, instructors, and interested readers in general.' Zentralblatt MATH, ' ... this is a marvellous tome, which is indeed a delight to read. This book is destined to become very popular amongst students and teachers alike.' Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society, "This book is one of the most interesting and accessible texts to come out in recent year...The style is refreshingly informal, although precise definitions are always given...this is a very 'student-friendly' approach (very different from the texts which always look for the greatest generality). There are many excellent examples...this will be a major achievement which will help a great many serious students."

Zentralblatt MATH, "Algebraic topoligy books that emphasize geometrical intuition usually have only a modest technical reach. Remarkably, Hatcher (Cornell Univ.) offers a highly geometrical treatment that neverheless matches the coverage of, e.g., Edwin Henry Spanier's very formidable and identically titled classic work... He promises two advanced companion volumes, one on spectral sequences, one on vector bundles. One anticipates the combined treatise doing for algebraic topology what Michael Spivak's magisterial five-volume set did for differential geometry." Choice

Synopsis
In most mathematics departments at major universities one of the three or four basic first-year graduate courses is in the subject of algebraic topology. This introductory textbook in algebraic topology is suitable for use in a course or for self-study, featuring broad coverage of the subject and a readable exposition, with many examples and exercises. The four main chapters present the basic material of the subject: fundamental group and covering spaces, homology and cohomology, higher homotopy groups, and homotopy theory generally. The author emphasizes the geometric aspects of the subject, which helps students gain intuition. A unique feature of the book is the inclusion of many optional topics which are not usually part of a first course due to time constraints, and for which elementary expositions are sometimes hard to find. Among these are: Bockstein and transfer homomorphisms, direct and inverse limits, H-spaces and Hopf algebras, the Brown representability theorem, the James reduced product, the Dold-Thom theorem, and a full exposition of Steenrod squares and powers. Researchers will also welcome this aspect of the book., In most major universities one of the three or four basic first-year graduate mathematics courses is algebraic topology.

- 1***l (355)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoBook was advertised as in ‘Good’ condition, but is terrible condition after you actually open the book. I reached out to the seller saying that it is unreadable and sent multiple photos of heavy ink underlining on dozens and dozens of pages throughout the book. Ink writing in margins, chapter titles, etc. seller offered a 50% refund and I again responded that the book is unreadable. He stated that was in ‘good’ condition when he sent it, eBay has standards and this book is in poor condition.
