A clear exposition, with exercises, of the basic ideas of algebraic
topology. Suitable for a two-semester course at the beginning
graduate level, it assumes a knowledge of point set topology and
basic algebra. Although categories and functors are introduced
early in the text, excessive generality is avoided, and the author
explains the geometric or analytic origins of abstract concepts as
they are introduced.
