Book Reviews - Resonance

Algebraic topology is a subject central to mathematics and which, at the level taught in a first course, can be considered as fully mature. Thus, one expects, at least from a given viewpoint, a book to be written that can be regarded as the definitive text and reference of the subject. In my view, Allen Hatcher’s Algebraic topology is such a book. Further-more, the book contains a wealth of additional topics, examples and exercises that make it an inspiring book for the motivated student.

To conclude, I strongly recommend Hatcher’s Algebraic Topology to any serious student of mathematics with the only caveat being that the book requires a certain level of mathematical sophistication.
