Introduction to Characteritic Classes and Index Theory
by Jean-Pierre Schneiders - Universidade de Lisboa
This text deals with characteristic classes of real and complex vector bundles and Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch formula. We will present a few basic but fundamental facts which should help the reader to gain a good idea of the mathematics involved.

Differential Forms and Cohomology: Course
by Peter Saveliev - Intelligent Perception
Differential forms provide a modern view of calculus. They also give you a start with algebraic topology in the sense that one can extract topological information about a manifold from its space of differential forms. It is called cohomology.

Algebraic and Geometric Surgery
by Andrew Ranicki - Oxford University Press
Surgery theory is the standard method for the classification of high-dimensional manifolds, where high means 5 or more. This book aims to be an entry point to surgery theory for a reader who already has some background in topology.
