Handbook of Algebraic TopologyI.M. James Algebraic topology (also known as homotopy theory) is a flourishing branch of modern mathematics. It is very much an international subject and this is reflected in the background of the 36 leading experts who have contributed to the Handbook. Written for the reader who already has a grounding in the subject, the volume consists of 27 expository surveys covering the most active areas of research. They provide the researcher with an up-to-date overview of this exciting branch of mathematics. |

Page 4 - Y, if there are continuous maps / : X —» Y and g : Y —» X such that the composites fg = ly and gf = lx are the identity maps.
Page 7 - ... spaces is one in which the objects are topological spaces and the 'mappings' are not individual maps but homotopy classes of ordinary maps. The equivalences are the classes with two-sided inverses, and two spaces are of the same homotopy type if and only if they are related by such an equivalence. The ultimate object of algebraic homotopy is to construct a purely algebraic theory, which is equivalent to homotopy theory in the same sort of way that 'analytic' is equivalent to 'pure
