MilnorStasheff
Milnor–Stasheff refers to the collaboration of John Milnor and James D. Stasheff, two American mathematicians whose work in topology has had a lasting influence. They co-authored the influential monograph Characteristic Classes, which remains a cornerstone text in differential topology and algebraic topology.
The book, published in 1974, provides a unified treatment of characteristic classes of vector and principal
Milnor and Stasheff’s individual contributions also shaped the book’s orientation. Milnor’s extensive work in differential topology
Impact of the work has been substantial. Characteristic Classes is widely cited as a foundational reference
