520 _aThis self-contained book explores the beauty of topology and homotopy theory in a direct and engaging manner while illustrating the power of the theory through many, often surprising, applications. It takes a visual and rigorous approach that incorporates both extensive illustrations and full proofs. Requiring only some familiarity with group theory, the text incorporates nearly 600 figures as well as various examples that show how the theory can be applied. It also includes roughly 750 exercises, many of which are relatively new.
