Textbook selections for spring 2025, summer 2025, and fall 2025 are listed below. Thanks to the Cornell Mathematics Library, free e-versions of textbooks are available (and linked below) for many upper-level and graduate courses in mathematics. The Cornell Academic Materials Program provides undergraduate students taking undergraduate courses at Cornell with access to their required textbooks and coursepacks for a single flat-rate cost. All materials in this program are provided in a digital format within Canvas and become available for students to access no later than the first day of classes. Optional, out-of-print, and hard-to-find titles are not included in the program and will not be stocked at The Cornell Store.

Mikki Klinger coordinates textbook and course packet ordering for all MATH courses. Deadlines for submitting textbook orders to the Cornell Store* are mid April for the fall semester, early November for the spring semester, and mid March for summer session. Custom printing is an option for out-of-print books or portions of textbooks. Instructors will be contacted by Mikki when it is time to start the ordering process.

*At this time, the Cornell Store handles all of Cornell's textbook ordering, but students are welcome to avail themselves of online options. Mikki Klinger will order copies of textbooks for all MATH course instructors and TAs. Desk copies must be signed out from Mikki at the beginning of the semester and returned to her at the end of the semester. Note: I have retired from teaching and advising students but am still active in research and writing. The best way to contact me is via email. If I do not respond in a timely fashion it is because I have nothing useful or definite to say.

Book Projects Algebraic Topology This book, published in 2002, is a beginning graduate-level textbook on algebraic topology from a fairly classical point of view. To find out more or to download it in electronic form, follow this link to the download page. Vector Bundles and K-Theory This unfinished book is intended to be a fairly short introduction to topological K-theory, starting with the necessary background material on vector bundles and including also basic material on characteristic... For further information or to download the part of the book that is written, go to the download page. Spectral Sequences I have now returned to an earlier plan of having this material be an extra chapter of the Algebraic Topology book, rather than a separate book. The current version of this chapter is here.

Its main focus is the Serre spectral sequence and its applications, but there is also some coverage of the Adams spectral sequence and, more briefly, a few other spectral sequences. In case you would like to see the older version that was planned as a separate book, this can be found on this page. Topology of Numbers This is an undergraduate-level introduction to elementary number theory from a somewhat geometric point of view, focusing on quadratic forms in two variables with integer coefficients. See the webpage for the book for more information or to download an electronic version of the book. A print version has been published by the American Math Society in 2022, but the electronic version will remain freely available here.

To get an idea you can look at the Table of Contents and the Preface. Printed Version: The book was published by Cambridge University Press in 2002 in both paperback and hardback editions, but only the paperback version is still available (ISBN 0-521-79540-0). I have tried to keep the price of the paperback version as low as possible, but it is gradually creeping upward after starting at $30 in 2002. Less expensive printings have been made for sale in China and South Asia.

A Russian translation was published in 2011. Electronic Version: By special arrangement with the publisher, an online version will continue to be available for free download here, subject to the terms in the copyright notice. The electronic version has narrower margins than the print version for a better reading experience on portable electronic devices. To restore the wider margins for printing a paper copy you can print at 85-90% of full size. Note: Section 3.2 has been revised from the original version, with a renumbering of items 3.11-3.21. Similarly, pages 352-355 in section 4.1 have been revised, with renumbering of items 4.13-4.17.

These revisions have been incorporated into reprintings of the book since 2015. Corrections: I am trying to keep an up-to-date list of corrections for all the errors, typographical and otherwise, that I am aware of. There are two lists: Meeting time: MWF 12:20-1:10 pm Location: Rockefeller Hall 132 Instructor: Daniel Jerison Office: Malott Hall 581 Office hours: Tu 2-3 pm, Th 3-4 pm or by appointment Email: jerison at math.cornell.edu TA: Vardan Verdiyan Office hours: W 3-4 pm, Th 2-3 pm or by appointment, 657 Rhodes Hall, Conference Room 1 Email: vv98 at cornell.edu A mathematically rigorous course in probability theory which uses measure theory but begins with the basic definitions of independence and expected value in that context.

Law of large numbers, Poisson and central limit theorems, and random walks. Prerequisites: Knowledge of Lebesgue integration theory, at least on real line. Students can learn this material by taking parts of MATH 4130-4140 or MATH 6210. Probability: Theory and Examples, 4th edition, by Rick Durrett. We will cover most of Chapters 1-4. The Mathematics Department offers a rich variety of courses in analysis, algebra, combinatorics, topology, geometry, probability, statistics, and logic.

Members of the department are available to discuss with students the appropriate course for their levels of ability and interest. Students are encouraged to avail themselves of this advice.

Contact Heather Peterson with enrollment questions and Michelle Klinger with questions about credit and placement. The plan is for this to be a fairly short book focusing on topological K-theory and containing also the necessary background material on vector bundles and characteristic classes.

Here is a provisional Table of Contents. At present only about half of the book is in good enough shape to be posted online, approximately 120 pages. This is available as a pdf file here. (I have reformatted this with narrower margins for a better reading experience on devices like an iPad, but for a paper copy with more standard size margins try printing at 85-90 per cent of... What is included in this installment is: Much of this material is already well covered in other sources, notably the classic books of Atiyah (K-theory) and Milnor & Stasheff (Characteristic Classes).

These books are still in print, although they have become somewhat expensive. Eventually I intend for the book to include a few more things that aren't readily accessible elsewhere, such as the full story on the stable J homomorphism. What is posted now is Version 2.2, dated November 2017. This is a minor revision of Version 2.0 from January 2003, with the addition (in 2017) of a section 3.3 giving the obstruction theory definition of Stiefel-Whitney classes.
