• I wrote a paper on Deterministic Chaos and Fractal Spacetimes in General Relativity for my class on Nonlinear Dynamics. If the figures don't display correctly, you may have to zoom about x400, or you could always print it. Even if you don't understand the paper, the pictures are cool.

If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be William S. Massey's A Basic Course in Algebraic Topology.

I am intended to serve as a textbook for a course in algebraic topology at the beginning graduate level. The main topics covered are the classification of compact 2-manifolds, the fundamental group, covering spaces, singular homology theory, and singular cohomology theory. These topics are developed systematically, avoiding all unecessary definitions, terminology, and technical machinery. Wherever possible, the geometric motivation behind the various concepts is emphasized.
