Algebraic Topology from a Homotopical Viewpoint (Electronic book text)

This is an introductory text for a first course in algebraic topology.; The authors present the beginning material in algebraic topology from a novel point of view in using a homotopy-theoretic approach.; This point of view clearly has applications in algebraic geometry as understood by Lawson and Voevodsky.; This carefully written book can be read by any student who knows some topology.; It will be a useful place to quickly learn this novel homotopy-theoretic point of view of algebraic topology.
