An Elementary Illustrated Introduction to Simplicial Sets
by Greg Friedman
Publisher: arXiv.org 2016
Number of pages: 58
Description:
This is an expository introduction to simplicial sets and simplicial homotopy theory with particular focus on relating the combinatorial aspects of the theory to their geometric/topological origins. It is intended to be accessible to students familiar with just the fundamentals of algebraic topology.
