This concise book provides a comprehensive overview of the essential elements in each field, enabling readers to gain a solid foundation and embark on research expeditions swiftly. The sole assumption is a foundational course in undergraduate algebraic topology. The first half delves into fundamental concepts of differential topology, culminating in the classification of exotic seven-spheres. It then transitions to dimension three and explores knot theory. Subsequently, an introduction to Heegaard Floer homology, a powerful set of modern invariants for three- and four-manifolds, including knots, emerges in this introductory textbook. The book concludes with a brief glimpse into four-manifold theory. Students will find it an exhilarating and authoritative guide to a vast expanse of the most significant topics in contemporary topology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 370g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 228 x 151 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781009220576\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AndrasJuhasz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44368160063738,"sku":"9781009220576","price":26.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1689935564296_book.jpg?v=1689961842","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/differential-and-lowdimensional-topology-9781009220576","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
