The approach of the book is pragmatic: while most proofs are given, those that are particularly long or technical are omitted, and results are stated in a form that emphasizes practical use over maximal generality. Moreover, to better reveal the logical structure of the subject, the separate roles of algebra and topology are illuminated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssuming a background in point-set topology, \u003ci\u003eFundamentals of Algebraic Topology\u003c\/i\u003e covers the canon of a first-year graduate course in algebraic topology: the fundamental group and covering spaces, homology and cohomology, CW complexes and manifolds, and a short introduction to homotopy theory. Readers wishing to deepen their knowledge of algebraic topology beyond the fundamentals are guided by a short but carefully annotated bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-09-10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781493948857\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4939-1844-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 163\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44499585171596,"sku":"9781493948857","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781493948857.jpg?v=1775712166","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781493948857","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
