Summary
With firm foundations dating only from the 1950s, algebraic topology is a relatively young area of mathematics. There are very few textbooks that treat fundamental topics beyond a first course, and many topics now essential to the field are not treated in any textbook. J. Peter May’s A Concise Course in Algebraic Topology addresses the standard first course material, such as fundamental groups, covering spaces, the basics of homotopy theory, and homology and cohomology. In this sequel, May…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This book fills thus a gap in the literature and will certainly serve as a reference in the field.”
“All researchers in algebraic topology should have at least a passing acquaintance with the material treated in this book, much of which does not appear in any of the standard texts.” (Kathryn Hess, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne)”
