Book Synopsis
With firm foundations dating only from the 1950s, algebraic topology is a relatively young area of mathematics. This title addresses the course material, such as fundamental groups, covering spaces, the basics of homotopy theory, and homology and cohomology. It covers topics that are useful for algebraic topologists.

Trade Review
"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)"
