Description
Algebraic topology (also known as homotopy theory) is a flourishing branch of modern mathematics. It is very much an international subject
and this is reflected in the background of the 36 leading experts who have contributed to the Handbook. Written for the reader who already
has a grounding in the subject, the volume consists of 27 expository surveys covering the most active areas of research. They provide
the researcher with an up-to-date overview of this exciting branch of mathematics.
