Two top experts in topology, O.Ya. Viro and D.B. Fuchs, give an up-to-date account of research in central areas of topology and the theory of Lie groups. They cover homotopy, homology and cohomology as well as the theory of manifolds, Lie groups, Grassmannians and low-dimensional manifolds. Their book will be used by graduate students and researchers in mathematics and mathematical physics.
