An introduction to the basic tools of algebraic topology, which studies topological spaces and continuous maps by producing associated algebraic structures (groups, vector spaces, rings, and homomorphism between them). Emphasis will be placed on being able to compute these invariants, not just on their definitions and associated theorems.
