Developed from a first-year graduate course in algebraic topology,
this text is an informal introduction to some of the main ideas of
contemporary homotopy and cohomology theory. The materials are
structured around four core areas: de Rham theory, the Cech-de Rham
complex, spectral sequences, and characteristic classes. By using
the de Rham theory of differential forms as a prototype of
cohomology, the machineries of algebraic topology are made easier
to assimilate. With its stress on concreteness, motivation, and
readability, this book is equally suitable for self-study and as a
one-semester course in topology.
