Elementary Differential Topology
Singular homology is a mathematical concept in algebraic topology that assigns a sequence of abelian groups or modules to a topological space, capturing its shape and structure. It is defined using singular simplices, which are continuous maps from standard simplices into the space, and these simplices help to analyze the space's connectivity and holes. Singular homology provides powerful tools for understanding complex spaces, especially when considering CW complexes that arise from Morse functions.
