A Combinatorial Introduction to Topology

US Books > Professional & Technical > Professional Science > Mathematics > Geometry & Topology > General Geometry

Excellent text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students shows how geometric and algebraic ideas met and grew together into an important branch of mathematics. Lucid coverage of vector fields, surfaces, homology of complexes, much more. Some knowledge of differential equations and multivariate calculus required. Many problems and exercises (some solutions) integrated into the text. 1979 edition. Bibliography.
