I've heard this book contains a lot of mistakes.

Just use Spanier for regular algebraic topology then use Whitehead for homotopy theory.

lol I'm trying to get through this one. It is a struggle after the first chapter. He literally has a single section of a chapter on Kan extensions, and doesn't actually say what a Kan extension is lmao.

They're for post-graduate students. Since most people here haven't advanced beyond basic algebra, it's evil.

Based. Literally the first section he's talking about jets without ever introducing them.

The whole openstax math series:
>1000 pages each
>60% are just fool-proof exercises
>sometimes reasoning is bullshit
>half of each book is a review of the same topics you met in the last book + something added they could compress in a single book instead of studying 3 times the same topic
>graphing, linear equations and systems come before polynomials
This shit confuses and angers me, are math books all the same?

Nah that one is just especially shit. Read Amann Escher's Analysis series. Does calc and analysis in one and has genuinely interesting exercises. No prerequisites
