Extract

The algebraic classification problem with which I shall be concerned in this paper is suggested by the algebraic theory of homomorphisms of free crossed modules whose groups of operators are free groups. This theory arises in the study of the homotopy theory of two-dimensional C.W. complexes*. It is shown in (3) that the homotopy theory of such complexes, including the homotopy classification of mappings, is equivalent to this purely algebraic theory.
