great as motivation but not a textbook
A simple introduction to advanced mathematical concepts
Full of motivations Since it does not have any problem sections, I can see why Munkres' book is more popular in college. It still gives some inspiring questions from time to time. Besides the basic pot-set topology, it also covers some algebraic topology and differentialtopology. The author does not hesitate to use examples from those advanced areas without formal definitions, and this was a bit annoying when I read it the first time. In this sense, the book is not really selfcontained. However, when finally a notion is formally defined, I can see it from various aspects in those examples. This really helps me understand topology better, and makes me want to explore them. After reading the existence thm of covering spaces in chapter 9, I realized that mathematics is really an art. The index in the back of the book is in the format of short definitions, which can be used as a quick reference.
Students: BUY THIS BOOK!!! At the end of chapter three, which deals with the quotient topology, the author writes the following paragraph: "If is often said against intuitive, spatial argumentation that it is not really argumentation but just so much gesticulation - just 'handwaving'. Shall we then abandon all intuitive arguments? Certainly not. As long as it is backed by the gold standard of rigorous proofs, the paper money of gestures is an invaluable aid for quick communication and fast circulation of ideas. Long live handwaving!". This has to rank as one of the best paragraphs that has every appeared in a mathematics book, for it nicely summarizes the need for developing a feel for the concepts behind mathematics before moving on to the rigorous proofs. Physicists in particular, who must assimilate mathematics very quickly in order to apply it to real problems must have a pictorial, "playful" understanding of the mathematical constructions. Thus the language that the author employs is informal, and a listing of the best discussions in the book would really entail a listing of every one in the book. There is not one part of the book that is not helpful or interesting, and the author delves into many different areas that involve the use of topology. If you are a beginning student in mathematics, BUY AND STUDY THIS BOOK...BUY AND STUDY THIS BOOK. You will take away so much for the price paid.

Editorial Review Product Description "Simplicial Objects in Algebraic Topology presents much of the elementary material of algebraic topology from the semi-simplicial viewpoint.It should prove very valuable to anyone wishing to learn semi-simplicial topology.[May] has included detailed proofs, and he has succeeded very well in the task of organizing a large body of previously scattered material."--Mathematical Review Customer Reviews (1)

Editorial Review Product Description This book brings the most important aspects of modern topology within reach of a second-year undergraduate student. It successfully unites the most exciting aspects of modern topology with those that are most useful for research, leaving readers prepared and motivated for further study. Written from a thoroughly modern perspective, every topic is introduced with an explanation of why it is being studied, and a huge number of examples provide further motivation. The book is ideal for self-study and assumes only a familiarity with the notion of continuity and basic algebra. Customer Reviews (4)

This might take a while... So it turns out that supplemental reading (exluding Whitehead's massive treatise) is necessary to achieve a better understanding of algebraic topology at the level of this book.The homotopical view therein will be matched (possibly superseded) by Aguilar's book (forthcoming, to which I am very much looking forward). Good luck! ... Read more |
