A postnikov tower is a construction in algebraic topology that allows for the systematic study of spaces by breaking them down into simpler pieces based on their homotopy types. It provides a way to analyze the higher homotopy groups of a space by building a sequence of fibrations, where each stage captures essential features of the space, thus connecting to higher homotopy groups, their properties, and the theory behind Eilenberg-MacLane spaces.
congrats on reading the definition of Postnikov Tower. now let's actually learn it.
