Talk:Algebraic topology/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Needs material on history, major sub-divisions and examples (such as the fundamental group); introduction and section on applications / major theorems needs expansion. Tompw 18:27, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Must expand significantly by (at least) discussing the types of questions addressed by alg. top. and applications to other areas of maths, providing brief overviews of the main theories / techniques (such as homotopy, various (co-) homologies, stable homotopy,...) and having links to articles that develop these further. As for the history section, a good source for that (if not most of the article!) is Dieudonné's A History of Algebraic and Differential Topology 1900-1960 (ISBN 081763388X).
