Is it possible to learn homotopy theory from the perspective of HoTT?

392 Views Asked by At

I'm more familiar with computer science than math. I watched 15-819 and was able to understand most of the content , I think I can digest the HoTT (Homotopy Type Theory) book as well. However , now I want to learn some application of HoTT, i.e. homotopy theory. Is it possible without starting from scratch (set theory) currently?

If you want to learn classical homotopy theory (as it is done with topological spaces and simplicial sets), then knowing some HoTT will probably help your intuition in some ways (though it might also be dangerous in other ways), but I don't think it can help at the formal mathematical level.
