About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book deals with the algebraic topology of finite topological spaces and its applications, and includes well-known results on finite spaces and original results developed by the author. The book is self-contained and well written. It is understandable and enjoyable to read. It contains a lot of examples and figures which help the readers to understand the theory.” (Fumihiro Ushitaki, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2014)
“This book illustrates convincingly the idea that the study of finite non-Hausdorff spaces from a homotopical point of view is useful in many areas and can even be used to study well-known problems in classical algebraic topology. … This book is a revised version of the PhD Thesis of the author. … All the concepts introduced with the chapters are usefully illustrated by examples and the recollection of all these results gives a very nice introduction to a domain of growing interest.” (Etienne Fieux, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1235, 2012)
