An Invitation to Morse Theory, Second Edition by Liviu NicolaescuEnglish | PDF,EPUB(Repost) | 2011 | 366 Pages | ISBN : 1461411041 | 8.6 MB
This self-contained treatment of Morse theory focuses on applications and is intended for a graduate course on differential or algebraic topology. The book is divided into three conceptually distinct parts. The first part contains the foundations of Morse theory. The second part consists of applications of Morse theory over the reals, while the last part describes the basics and some applications of complex Morse theory, a.k.a. Picard-Lefschetz theory.
