Algebraic Topology: An Introduction (Graduate Texts in Mathematics, 56) by William S. Massey (PDF)

Description

William S. Massey Professor Massey, born in Illinois in 1920, received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Chicago and then served for four years in the U.S. Navy during World War II. After the War he received his Ph.D. from Princeton University and spent two additional years there as a post-doctoral research assistant. He then taught for ten years on the faculty of Brown University, and moved to his present position at Yale in 1960. He is the author of numerous research articles on algebraic topology and related topics. This book developed from lecture notes of courses taught to Yale undergraduate and graduate students over a period of several years.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is an “older” book on this topic, and does not compare to, say, Hatcher in terms of depth. However, it is great for clarifying key concepts which in a book like Hatcher become completely obsured by the maze of rigourous theory.

⭐Excellent textbook, a classic

⭐This is a charming book on algebraic topology.It doesnt teach homology or cohomology theory,still you can find in it:about the fundamental group, the action of the fundamental group on the universal cover (and the concept of the universal cover),the classification of surfaces and a beautifull chapter on free groups and the way it is related to Van-kampen theorem .After reading this book you will have a strong intuitive picture on “what is algebraic topology all about”(well at list on part of algebraic topology)read it an enjoy it!!!.

⭐Very good.

⭐Good book
