This book will help students to see the broad<br />

outline of mathematics and to fill in the gaps in<br />

their knowledge. The author explains the basic<br />

points and a few key results of all the most<br />

important undergraduate topics in mathematics,<br />

emphasizing the intuitions behind the subject. The<br />

topics include linear algebra, vector calculus,<br />

differential geometry, real analysis, point-set<br />

topology, probability, complex analysis, abstract<br />

algebra, and more. An annotated bibliography<br />

then offers a guide to further reading and to more<br />

rigorous foundations. The book will be an essential<br />

resource for advanced undergraduate and<br />

beginning graduate students in mathematics, the<br />

physical sciences, engineering, computer science,<br />

statistics and economics who need to quickly learn<br />

some serious mathematics.<br />

This introductory textbook is suitable for use in a<br />

first-year graduate course or for self-study,<br />

readable exposition, with many examples and<br />

exercises. Along with the basic material on<br />

fundamental group and covering spaces,<br />

homology and cohomology, higher homotopy<br />

groups, and homotopy theory, the book includes<br />

many optional topics for which elementary<br />

expositions are hard to find.<br />
