Many of the modern variational problems in topology arise in different but overlapping fields of scientific study: mechanics, physics and mathematics. In this work, Professor Fomenko offers a concise and clean explanation of some of these problems (both solved and unsolved), using current methods and analytical topology. The author's skillful ex
A superior exposition of topology...If a student (foolishly) wanted to own just one book in topology, I might (sensibly) recommend this one.
