<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>The Handbook of Homotopy established the state-of-the-art research on this emerging topic in topology. The list of topics and contributors is impressive. The topics cover a broad swath, and the contributors will do an outstanding job. Students particularly will findthis book to be an entree to an active field of study. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The <b><i>Handbook of Homotopy Theory</i></b> provides a panoramic view of an active area in mathematics that is currently seeing dramatic solutions to long-standing open problems, and is proving itself of increasing importance across many other mathematical disciplines. The origins of the subject date back to work of Henri Poincaré and Heinz Hopf in the early 20th century, but it has seen enormous progress in the 21st century. A highlight of this volume is an introduction to and diverse applications of the newly established foundational theory of -categories.</p><p>The coverage is vast, ranging from axiomatic to applied, from foundational to computational, and includes surveys of applications both geometric and algebraic. The contributors are among the most active and creative researchers in the field. The 22 chapters by 31 contributors are designed to address novices, as well as established mathematicians, interested in learning the state of the art in this field, whose methods are of increasing importance in many other areas. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Haynes Miller</strong> is Professor of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Past managing editor of the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society and author of some sixty mathematics articles, he has directed the PhD work of 27 students during his tenure at MIT. His visionary work in university-level education was recognized by the award of MIT's highest teaching honor, the Margaret MacVicar Fellowship. </p>
