But the ultimate goal is to make the reader (Beijing Institute of Technology, China) feel comfortable with basic ideas in homotopy theory. This book is intended as a one-semester course The author found that the classification of principal in general topology, a.k.a. point-set topology, for fiber bundles is an ideal motivation for this purpose. undergraduate students as well as first-year graduate The book begins with elementary examples and students. Such a course is considered a prerequisite then gradually introduces abstract definitions when for further studying analysis, geometry, manifolds, necessary. The reader is assumed to be familiar with and certainly, for a career of mathematical research. point-set topology, but it is the only requirement for this book.

An Elementary Overview of A Guide to Lie Systems with Mathematical Structures Compatible Geometric Structures Algebra, Topology and Categories by Javier de Lucas (University of Warsaw, by Marco Grandis (Università di Genova, Italy) Poland) & Cristina Sardón Muñoz (Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas, Spain) Since the last century, a large part of Mathematics is concerned with the study of mathematical structures, The book presents a comprehensive guide to from groups to fields and vector spaces, from the study of Lie systems from the fundamentals lattices to Boolean algebras, from metric spaces of differential geometry to the development of to topological spaces, from topological groups to contemporary research topics. It embraces several Banach spaces. More recently, these structured basic topics on differential geometry and the study sets and their transformations have been assembled in higher structures, of geometric structures while developing known applications in the theory of called categories.
