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.
