This third of the three-volume book is targeted as a basic course in algebraic topology and topology for fiber bundles for undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics. It focuses on many variants of topology and its applications in modern analysis, geometry, and algebra. Topics covered in this volume include homotopy theory, homology and cohomology theories, homotopy theory of fiber bundles, Euler characteristic, and the Betti number. It also includes certain classic problems such as the Jordan curve theorem along with the discussions on higher homotopy groups and establishes links between homotopy and homology theories, axiomatic approach to homology and cohomology as inaugurated by Eilenberg and Steenrod. It includes more material than is comfortably covered by beginner students in a one-semester course. Students of advanced courses will also find the book useful. This book will promote the scope, power and active learning of the subject, all the while covering a wide range of theory and applications in a balanced unified way.

MAHIMA RANJAN ADHIKARI, Ph.D., M.Sc. (Gold Medalist), is the founder president of the Institute for Mathematics, Bioinformatics and Computer Science (IMBIC), Kolkata, India. He is a former professor at the Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Calcutta, India. His research papers are published in national and international journals of repute, including the Proceedings of American Mathematical Society. He has authored nine textbooks and is the editor of two, including: Basic Modern Algebra with Applications (Springer, 2014), Basic Algebraic Topology and Applications (Springer, 2016), and Mathematical and Statistical Applications in Life Sciences and Engineering (Springer, 2017). Twelve students have been awarded Ph.D. degree under his guidance on various topics such as algebra, algebraic topology, category theory, geometry, analysis, graph theory, knot theory and history of mathematics. He has visited several universities and research institutions in India, USA, UK, Japan, China, Greece, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, and many other counties on invitation. A member of the American Mathematical Society, Prof. Adhikari is on the editorial board of several journals of repute. He was elected as the president of the Mathematical Sciences Section (including Statistics) of the 95th Indian Science Congress, 2008. He has successfully completed research projects funded by the Government of India.
