內容簡介
《代數拓撲中微分形式》內容為：The guiding principle in this book is to use differential forms as an aid inexploring some of the less digestible aspects of algebraic topology. Accord-ingly, we move primarily in the realm of smooth manifolds and use thede Rham theory as a prototype of all of cohomology. For applications tohomotopy theory we also discuss by way of analogy cohomoiogy witharbitrary coefficients. Although we have in mind an audience with prior exposure to algebraicor differential topology, for the most part a good knowledge of linearalgebra, advanced calculus, and point-set topology should suffice. Someacquaintance with manifolds, simplicial complexes, singular homology andcohomology, and homotopy groups is helpful, but not really necessary.Within the text itself we have stated with care the more advanced resultsthat are needed, so that a mathematically mature reader who accepts thesebackground materials on faith should be able to read the entire book withthe minimal prerequisites.
