Homotopy Theories and Model Categories [From: Handbook of Algebraic Topology, I.M. James (Editor)]

Main subject categories: • Algebraic Topology • Homotopy Theory 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. Algebraic topology, also known as homotopy theory, is a branch of modern mathematics. This book provides an overview of this branch and consists of 27 expository surveys covering the most active areas of research.
