Prerequisites in Algebraic Topologyby Bjorn Ian Dundas - NTNU
This is not an introductory textbook in algebraic topology, these notes attempt to give an overview of the parts of algebraic topology, and in particular homotopy theory, which are needed in order to appreciate that side of motivic homotopy theory.
