His research interests lay in the area of algebra, involving abelian groups, modules, homological algebra, and combinatorics. [5] Rotman was the Managing Editor of the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society in 1972–1973. [4] In 1985 he was the Annual Visiting Lecturer of the South African Mathematical Society. [6]
Algebraic topology is a branch of mathematics that uses tools from abstract algebra to study topological spaces. The basic goal is to find algebraic invariants that classify topological spaces up to homeomorphism, though usually most classify up to homotopy equivalence. Although algebraic topology primarily uses algebra to study topological ...

In mathematics, more specifically algebraic topology, a pair (,) is shorthand for an inclusion of topological spaces:.Sometimes is assumed to be a cofibration.A morphism from (,) to (′, ′) is given by two maps : ′ and : ′ such that ′ =.
Differential graded algebra: the algebraic structure arising on the cochain level for the cup product; Poincaré duality: swaps some of these; Intersection theory: for a similar theory in algebraic geometry
It provides, in the classical setting of field theory, an alternative perspective to that of Emil Artin based on linear algebra, which became standard from about the 1930s. The approach of Alexander Grothendieck is concerned with the category-theoretic properties that characterise the categories of finite G -sets for a fixed profinite group G .
Readers of the book are expected to already be familiar with general topology, linear algebra, and group theory. [1] However, as a textbook, it lacks exercises, and reviewer Bill Wood suggests its use for a student project rather than for a formal course. [1] Many other graduate algebraic topology textbooks include coverage of the same topic. [4]
