Product Description
This classic book provides a broad introduction to homological algebra, including a comprehensive set of exercises. Since publication of the first edition homological algebra has found a large number of applications in many different fields. Today, it is a truly indispensable tool in fields ranging from finite and infinite group theory to representation theory, number theory, algebraic topology and sheaf theory. In this new edition, the authors have selected a number of different topics and describe some of the main applications and results to illustrate the range and depths of these developments. The background assumes little more than knowledge of the algebraic theories groups and of vector spaces over a field.

Customer Reviews:
Good overview of the subject August 20, 2000
Dr. Lee D. Carlson (Saint Louis, Missouri USA)
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book, written by two of the leading experts in the area, is a sound exposition of a very abstract/abtruse subject. The logic is impeccable and the organization nicely done. Algebraic topology is given a rigorous foundation in this book and readers with a background in that subject will appreciate the discussion more. By far the best chapter in the book is the one on exact couples and spectral sequences as it gives proofs that would take a lot of time to find in the original literature. A good book for reference and for detailed study.
