This book offers an introductory course in algebraic topology. Starting with general topology, it discusses differentiable manifolds, cohomology, products and duality, the fundamental group, homology theory, and homotopy theory. From the reviews: "An interesting and original graduate text in topology and geometry...a good lecturer can use this text to create a fine course...A b...(展开全部)

This book offers an easy and compact access to the theory of Teichmüller spaces, starting from the most elementary aspects to the most recent developments, e.g. the role this theory plays with regard to string theory. Teichmüller spaces give parametrization of all the complex structures on a given Riemann surface. This subject is related to many different areas of mathematics i...(展开全部)
