| Dec 2, 2012 at 13:32 | comment | added | Alexander Chervov | PS concerning books I did not read carefully Bott, Tu book, but from browsing it and friend's opinions, it is quite good. There are some books in Russian like A.S. Mishenko "Vector bundles and K-theory" which is quite not bad, but probably this is useless to mention. | |
| Dec 2, 2012 at 13:28 | comment | added | Alexander Chervov | continued... your question contains several subquestions, in particular "would like to know which areas of algebraic topology are the most interesting to begin to work with " I am afraid this is mostly the reason why the question has been closed... To my taste it is reasonable, but there can be other opinions, people may say that "interesting" is "subjective and argumentative" and close it. At the moment I cannot give advise how to reformulate it... | |
| Dec 2, 2012 at 13:22 | comment | added | Alexander Chervov | continued... There are also "recomend text-book" questions: mathoverflow.net/questions/67736/… mathoverflow.net/questions/2446/… mathoverflow.net/questions/7834/… etc, search on "text-book"... In particular see this on algebraic topology mathoverflow.net/questions/51066/… , mathoverflow.net/questions/18041/… | |
| Dec 2, 2012 at 13:12 | comment | added | Alexander Chervov | I think it is honest and reasonable question, but on mathoverflow some part of members are quite strict to "soft-questions", many of them get closed, some does not. Let me give some examples of similar spirit questions which were not get closed, may be you can use them in future. There are several "Learning roadmap" questions: mathoverflow.net/questions/2755/… mathoverflow.net/questions/1291/… and many more - search on "roadmap", BUT beware of closed : mathoverflow.net/questions/40076 | |

| Dec 1, 2012 at 17:39 | comment | added | Todd Trimble | Algebraic Topology is a huge field, and it's virtually impossible I think to say "which areas of algebraic topology are the most interesting to begin to work with" -- if you are looking toward an eventual PhD, you will probably have to embark on an apprenticeship stage where you learn many basic tools and calculations, which can become quite elaborate. But you could start by reading May's A Concise Course in Algebraic Topology, or Allen Hatcher's Algebraic Topology: math.cornell.edu/~hatcher/AT/ATpage.html But this site is mainly for specific, highly focused research questions. | |
