Description

Hailed by The Mathematical Gazette as "an extremely valuable addition to the literature of algebraic topology," this concise and rigorous introductory treatment presents applications to dimension theory and fixed-point theorems. Topics include complexes and their Betti groups, invariance of the Betti groups, and continuous mappings and fixed points.
