“Over the past 15 years, the geometrical and topological methods of the theory of manifolds have assumed a central role in the most advanced areas of pure and applied mathematics as well as theoretical physics. The three volumes of Modern Geometry- Methods and Applications contain a concrete exposition of these methods together with their main application in mathematics and physics. This third volume, presented in highly accessible language, concentrates on homology theory. It contains introduction to the contemporary methods for the calculation of homotopy groups and the classification of manifolds. Both scientists and students of mathematics as well as theoretical physics will find this book to be a valuable reference and text.
