This is a foundation for arithmetic topology - a new branch of mathematics which is focused upon the analogy between knot theory and number theory. Starting with an informative introduction to its origins, namely Gauss, this text provides a background on knots, three manifolds and number fields. Common aspects of both knot theory and number theory, for instance knots in three m...(展开全部)

A clear exposition, with exercises, of the basic ideas of algebraic topology. Suitable for a two-semester course at the beginning graduate level, it assumes a knowledge of point set topology and basic algebra. Although categories and functors are introduced early in the text, excessive generality is avoided, and the author explains the geometric or analytic origins of abstract ...(展开全部)

This English translation of a Russian book presents the basic notions of differential and algebraic topology, which are indispensable for specialists and useful for research mathematicians and theoretical physicists. In particular, ideas and results are introduced related to manifolds, cell spaces, coverings and fibrations, homotopy groups, intersection index, etc. The author n...(展开全部)

This account of algebraic topology is complete in itself, assuming no previous knowledge of the subject. It is used as a textbook for students in the final year of an undergraduate course or on graduate courses and as a handbook for mathematicians in other branches who want some knowledge of the subject.

本书是一部代数拓扑领域的入门级书籍，特别强调同调理论的基础和应用。具备Abelian群和点集拓扑的基本知识可完全读懂这本书。第一章既讲述奇异同调的本质，又介绍一些重要的应用。这样，学生可以很好的抓住材料的本质。紧接着讲述了贴空间、有限CW复形、Eilenberg-Steenrod定理、上同调积、流形、庞加莱对偶和不动点理论。通书运用大量的例子和图表，让表述尽可能的清楚。以基本概念为核心，尽可能避免一些极端的案例。本书最终目标是作为本科生教程或者自学教程。在第二版中进行了大量的扩展，增加了新的一章，包括覆盖定理以及许多练习。

For juniors and seniors of various majors, taking a first course in topology. This book introduces topology as an important and fascinating mathematics discipline. Students learn first the basics of point-set topology, which is enhanced by the real-world application of these concepts to science, economics, and engineering as well as other areas of mathematics. The second half o...(展开全部)
