Lectures on Etale Cohomology
by J. S. Milne
2008
Number of pages: 196
Description:
These are the notes for a course taught at the University of Michigan in 1989 and 1998. The emphasis is on heuristic arguments rather than formal proofs and on varieties rather than schemes. The notes also discuss the proof of the Weil conjectures (Grothendieck and Deligne).

H Ring Spectra and Their Applicationsby R. R. Bruner, J. P. May, J. E. McClure, M. Steinberger - Springer
This volume concerns spectra with enriched multiplicative structure. It is a truism that interesting cohomology theories are represented by ring spectra, the product on the spectrum giving rise to the cup products in the theory.

Differential Forms and Cohomology: Courseby Peter Saveliev - Intelligent Perception
Differential forms provide a modern view of calculus. They also give you a start with algebraic topology in the sense that one can extract topological information about a manifold from its space of differential forms. It is called cohomology.

Introduction to Topological Groupsby Dikran Dikranjan - UCM
These notes provide a brief introduction to topological groups with a special emphasis on Pontryaginvan Kampen's duality theorem for locally compact abelian groups. We give a completely self-contained elementary proof of the theorem.
