Description
Geometric Topology is a foundational component of modern mathematics, involving the study of spacial properties and invariants of familiar
objects such as manifolds and complexes. This volume, which is intended both as an introduction to the subject and as a wide ranging
resouce for those already grounded in it, consists of 21 expository surveys written by leading experts and covering active areas of current
research. They provide the reader with an up-to-date overview of this flourishing branch of mathematics.
