Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Massey's well-known and popular text is designed to introduce advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students to algebraic topology as painlessly as possible. The principal topics treated are 2-dimensional manifolds, the fundamental group, and covering spaces, plus the group theory needed in these topics. The only prerequisites are some group theory, such as that normally contained in an undergraduate algebra course on the junior/senior level, and a one-semester undergraduate course in general topology. From the reviews: "This book is highly recommended: as a textbook for a first course in algebraic topology and as a book for selfstudy. The spirit of algebraic topology and of good mathematics is present at every page of this almost perfect book." Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de Belgique#1

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best books on algebraic topology, October 28, 2001
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!!!.
