Topology and Groupoids

The book is intended as a text for a two-semester course in topology and algebraic topology at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level. There are over 500 exercises, 114 figures, numerous diagrams. The general direction of the book is toward homotopy theory with a geometric point of view. This book would provide a more than adequate background for a standard algebraic topology course that begins with homology theory. For more information see www.bangor.ac.uk/r.brown/topgpds.html This version dated April 19, 2006, has a number of corrections made.

5Topology and Groupoids - great value!!  Apr 02, 2006
This book presents an unusual but very valuable approach to topology and homotopy in terms of groupoids, in particular, in terms of the fundamental groupoid. It is revised, and this is its third edition. It is self-contained and is beautifully written. The importance of groupoids have been amply justified by their increasing importance in noncommutative geometry and differential geometry. The book, for example, gives insight into the surprising abelian character of the higher homotopy groups by pointing out that we should be looking at the higher homotopy GROUPOIDS which are non-abelian.

The book is incredible value at $23.99. The print is excellent and delivery from BookSurge was in good time. There is also an e-version of the book. This book is wonderful value!
