📁 Homology theory: An introduction to algebraic topology

✍ P. J. Hilton, S. Wylie 📂 Library 📅 1968 🏛 Cambridge University Press 🌐 English

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 sub

✍ James W. Vick 📂 Library 📅 1994 🏛 Springer 🌐 English

This was the textbook for the first third of a year-long algebraic topology sequence at Oregon State in 1973-4. We were told by the prof that Vick was a student of Stong and that the book was essentially Stong's course written up with his blessing. It's hard to ask for a better pedigree than that, a
