Thirty years of shape theory
S. Mardešić
Abstract
The paper outlines the development of shape theory since its founding by K. Borsuk 30 years ago to the present days. As a motivation for introducing shape theory, some shortcomings of homotopy theory in dealing with spaces of irregular local behavior are described. Special attention is given to the contributions to shape theory made by the Zagreb topology group.
