    Contemporary Mathematics
    Volume: 96; 1989; 350 pp
    MSC: Primary 55; Secondary 57

    This book will provide readers with an overview of some of the major developments in current research in algebraic topology. Representing some of the leading researchers in the field, the book contains the proceedings of the International Conference on Algebraic Topology, held at Northwestern University in March, 1988. Several of the lectures at the conference were expository and will therefore appeal to topologists in a broad range of areas.

    The primary emphasis of the book is on homotopy theory and its applications. The topics covered include elliptic cohomology, stable and unstable homotopy theory, classifying spaces, and equivariant homotopy and cohomology. Geometric topics—such as knot theory, divisors and configurations on surfaces, foliations, and Siegel spaces—are also discussed. Researchers wishing to follow current trends in algebraic topology will find this book a valuable resource.
