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 ...

Edwin Henry Spanier (August 8, 1921 – October 11, 1996) was an American mathematician at the University of California at Berkeley, working in algebraic topology.He co-invented Spanier–Whitehead duality and Alexander–Spanier cohomology, and wrote what was for a long time the standard textbook on algebraic topology (Spanier 1981).
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 ′ =.

In mathematics, topological K-theory is a branch of algebraic topology. It was founded to study vector bundles on topological spaces, by means of ideas now recognised as (general) K-theory that were introduced by Alexander Grothendieck. The early work on topological K-theory is due to Michael Atiyah and Friedrich Hirzebruch.
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
In algebraic topology, a transgression map is a way to transfer cohomology classes. It occurs, for example in the inflation-restriction exact sequence in group cohomology, and in integration in fibers. It also naturally arises in many spectral sequences; see spectral sequence#Edge maps and transgressions.
