Buying madness,

This review is from: A Course in Homological Algebra (Graduate Texts in Mathematics) (Hardcover)
I am a retired professor of mathematics. When I retired I got rid of my library and now I am back to rebuying many of the books I rid myself of, including the current one under review. Hilton and Stammbach's book is quite useful to learn homology from. (I'm not an expert in homology although I have published research in homology,) I prefer MacLane's Homology if it can be found.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good overview of the subject,
By Dr. Lee D. Carlson (Baltimore, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: A Course in Homological Algebra (Graduate Texts in Mathematics) (Hardcover)
This book, written by two of the leading experts in the area, is a sound exposition of a very abstract/abtruse subject. The logic is impeccable and the organization nicely done. Algebraic topology is given a rigorous foundation in this book and readers with a background in that subject will appreciate the discussion more. By far the best chapter in the book is the one on exact couples and spectral sequences as it gives proofs that would take a lot of time to find in the original literature. A good book for reference and for detailed study.
