Are there two non-homotopy equivalent spaces with equal homotopy groups?

All of these examples involve a bit of cleverness, so I thought I'd point out a more straightforward way to construct counterexamples. If $X$ is any space, we can build a space $X' = K(\pi_0 X, 0) \t …

Least number of charts to describe a given manifold

To answer your last question, the least number of charts needed to cover any orientable 2-manifold is 2. Consider the usual embedding of an orientable surface Σ in R3 which is symmetric across the pl …
