| Apr 6, 2010 at 23:31 | comment | added | The Mathemagician | Continued-Indeed-if May combined the 2 texts into a single book with some well chosen pictures and lots of exercises,I believe it would become THE standard text on the subject for graduate students for a generation. | |
| Apr 6, 2010 at 23:30 | comment | added | The Mathemagician | @fcqc May's book is terrific,but boy,it would be a struggle to learn from it by May's own admission. I wish he'd write a second edition that had some pictures (not many,but some) and a lot more exercises.That would make the book a lot more usable as a textbook by well-prepared graduate students and still preserve it's sophisticated nature. I was told at this message board that he's actually working on a sequel that should appear soon.Can't wait for that. | |

| Jan 25, 2010 at 8:56 | comment | added | Harry Gindi | Peter May has a really excellent book available for free on his website called "A Concise Introduction to Algebraic Topology". If you're familiar with commutative diagrams and categorical language, you're probably better off with that book than hatcher. (This is with respect to your book request below.) | |
