| Jul 14, 2011 at 19:07 | comment | added | The Mathemagician | tom Dieck's book would make a better modern course then May since it's slower and more comprehensive. But unfortunately,its prerequisites are considerably higher.A very strong 2 year graduate topology sequence,to me,would begin with a thorough coverage of John Lee's INTRODUCTION TO TOPOLOGICAL MANIFOLDS before moving on to tom Dieck or Rotman. I have mixed feelings about Bredon's book. I'm really impressed with the attempt to mix a purely abstract,modern approach with geometric content on manifolds,but I don't think it's entirely successful. I think Bott/Tu does a much better job of this. | |
