Model Categories and Simplicial Methods
by Paul Goerss, Kristen Schemmerhorn
Publisher: Northwestern University 2004
Number of pages: 46
Description:
There are many ways to present model categories, each with a different point of view. Here we'd like to treat model categories as a way to build and control resolutions. We're going to emphasize the analog of projective resolutions, simply because these are the sort of resolutions most people see first.

These notes were written for a course in category theory. The course was designed to be self-contained, drawing most of the examples from category theory itself. It was intended for post-graduate students in theoretical computer science.
