La presente obra de John Milnor y James Stasheff tiene una calidad indiscutible en cuanto a su contenido y presentación. Fue concebida como las notas de un curso que John Milnor dictó en la Universidad de Princeton en 1957 y está dedicada a cuatro grandes matemáticos, pilares fundamentales en la
The theory of characteristic classes began in the year 1935 with almost simultaneous work by Hassler Whitney in the United States and Eduard Stiefel in Switzerland. Stiefel's thesis, written under the direction of Heinz Hopf, introduced and studied certain 'characteristic' homology classes determine
