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","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45276958720151,"sku":"9781493948857","price":3997.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781493948857.webp?v=1769287104","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fundamentals-of-algebraic-topology-9781493948857","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
