An Introduction to Algebraic Topology Hundreds of eye-catching images includeThis self contained treatment of algebraic topology assumes only some knowledge of real numbers and real analysis. The first three chapters focus on the basics of point set topology, offering background to students approaching the subject with no previous knowledge. Readers already familiar with point set topology can proceed directly to Chapter 4, which examines the fundamental group as well as homology groups and continuous mapping, barycentric
