In 1942 LEV PONTRJAGIN of Moscow University began to study thehomology of Grassmann manifolds, using a cell subdivision due to CharlesEhresmann. This enabled him to construct important new characteristicclasses. (Pontrjagins many contributions to mathematics are the moreremarkable in that he is totally blind, having lost his eyesight in an acci-dent at the age of fourteen.)
內容簡介
The text which follows is based mostly on lectures at PrincetonUniversity in 1957. The senior author wishes to apologize for the delayin publication.The theory of characteristic classes began in the year 1935 with almostsimultaneous work by HASSLER WHITNEY in the United States andEDUARD STIEFEL in Switzerland. StiefeIs thesis, written under thedirection of Heinz Hopf, introduced and studied certain "characteristic"homology classes determined by the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold.Whitney, then at Harvard University, treated the case of an arbitrary spherebundle.

還沒看過不發錶內容的評論瞭,評論一下彆的:紙張光滑,比世圖齣版的彆的書要好很多,封麵與圖示不符,為白色紅邊,不過依然很漂亮,裏麵印刷不錯。

本書作者是菲爾茲奬和沃爾夫將雙奬的獲得者,在拓撲學、幾何學等分支成就卓著。本書講解瞭從惠特尼到龐特裏亞金再到陳省身等人的示性類方麵的結果與成就,是一本難得的示性類方麵的著作。

京東的書店書倒較全瞭,價格同時下調些會吸引些人
