Klappentext Since the introduction of homotopy groups by Hurewicz in 1935, homotopy theory has occupied a prominent place in the development of algebraic topology. Zusammenfassung Since the introduction of homotopy groups by Hurewicz in 1935! homotopy theory has occupied a prominent place in the development of algebraic topology. This monograph provides an account of the subject which bridges the gap between the fundamental concepts of topology and the more complex treatment to be found in original papers. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Introduction; 2. The homotopy groups; 3. The classical theorems of homotopy theory; 4. The exact homotopy sequence; 5. Fibre-Spaces; 6. The Hopf invariant and suspension theorems; 7. Whitehead cell-complexes; 8. Homotopy groups of complexes.
