Critics Review
“Adhikari’s work is an excellent resource for any individual seeking to learn more about algebraic topology. By no means will this text feel like an introduction to algebraic topology, but it does offer much for both beginners and experts. … the text will be a valuable reference on the bookshelf of any reader with an interest in algebraic topology. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above; researchers and faculty.” (A. Misseldine, Choice, Vol. 54 (9), May, 2017)
“I am pretty enthusiastic about this book. … it shows very good taste on the author’s part as far as what he’s chosen to do and how he’s chosen to do it. … Wow! What a nice book. I’m glad I have a copy.” (Michael Berg, MAA Reviews, maa.org, February, 2017)
“This is a comprehensive textbook on algebraic topology. … accessible tostudents of all levels of mathematics, so suitable for anyone wanting and needing to learn about algebraic topology. It can also offer a valuable resource for advanced students with a specialized knowledge in other areas who want to pursue their interest in this area. … further readings are provided at the end of each of them, which also enables students to study the subject discussed therein in more depth.” (Haruo Minami, zbMATH 1354.55001, 2017)About The Author
