The author's aim is to provide the reader with a short introduction to the basic facts of the theory of secondary cohomology operations. It differs from most of the literature where secondary operations are calculated by the approach to the subject through the idea of secondary composition. This point of view has been used by the author and A. Zabrodsky in their work on finite \(H\)-spaces, a fact that guarantees the top quality of this monograph. The overall purpose of chapter 1 is to have the Steenrod algebra and the cohomology of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces ready for use. Chapter 2 is a bridge to the point of view chosen by the author. Chapter 3 presents the basic geometry theory including the author's version of the Peterson-Stein formula and the use of the Milnor filtration. Chapter 4 develops the basic theory of secondary operations. Chapter 5 presents several examples, in particular the evaluation of Adams and Liulevicius-Shimada-Yamanoshita operations in the cohomology of complex projective spaces. Chapter 6 contains the Hopf invariant results. Chapter 7 also includes a discussion of twisted operations and Cartan formulas for secondary operations. The book contains many examples and exercises and new material not published elsewhere. This book can be warmly recommended to readers interested in homotopy theory.
