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. The first six chapters describe the essential ideas of
homotopy theory: homotopy groups, the classical theorems, the exact
homotopy sequence, fibre-spaces, the Hopf invariant, and the
Freudenthal suspension. The final chapters discuss J. H. C.
Whitehead's cell-complexes and their application to homotopy groups
of complexes.
