This is a book in pure mathematics dealing with homotopy theory, one of the main branches of algebraic topology. The principal topics are as follows:
- Basic Homotopy; - H-spaces and co-H-spaces; - Fibrations and Cofibrations; - Exact sequences of homotopy sets, actions, and coactions; - Homotopy pushouts and pullbacks; - Classical theorems, including those of Serre, Hurewicz, Blakers-Massey, and Whitehead; - Homotopy Sets; - Homotopy and homology decompositions of spaces and maps; and - Obstruction theory.
