Algebraic topology is a branch of mathematics that uses tools from abstract algebra to study topological spaces. The basic goal is to find algebraic invariants that classify topological spaces up to homeomorphism, though usually most classify up to homotopy equivalence. Although algebraic topology primarily uses algebra to study topological problems, using topology to solve algebraic problems is sometimes also possible. Algebraic topology, for example, allows for a convenient proof that any subgroup of a free group is again a free group. (Wikipedia).
Algebraic topology: Introduction
This lecture is part of an online course on algebraic topology. This is an introductory lecture, where we give a quick overview of some of the invariants of algebraic topology (homotopy groups, homology groups, K theory, and cobordism). The book "algebraic topology" by Allen Hatcher men

AlgTopReview: An informal introduction to abstract algebra
This is a review lecture on some aspects of abstract algebra useful for algebraic topology. It provides some background on fields, rings and vector spaces for those of you who have not studied these objects before, and perhaps gives an overview for those of you who have. Our treatment is

AlgTop1: One-dimensional objects
This is the first lecture of this beginner's course in Algebraic Topology (after the Introduction). In it we introduce the two basic one-dimensional objects: the line and circle. The latter has quite a few different manifestations: as a usual Euclidean circle, as the projective line of one
