Summary: | This paper serves as an introduction to the study of algebraic topology or homology theory. It focuses on spaces which are particularly simple subsets of Euclidean n-space Rn. These subsets are those that can be assembled in conformity with a prescribed set of rules from certain elementary building blocks called simplexes. A set that can be so constructed is called a polytope. A particular set of directions for assembling simplexes into a specific polytope is called a complex, and the resulting polytope itself is called the space of the complex.The paper focuses on the computation of the homology groups of these complexes. |
