While the general theory and certain types of categories have attracted considerable interest, the area of homological algebra has proved most fruitful in areas of ring theory, group theory, and algebraic topology.

 13: Commutative rings and algebras
Of particular interest are several classes of rings of interest in number theory, field theory, algebraic geometry, and related areas; however, other classes of rings arise, and a rich structure theory arises to analyze commutative rings in general, using the concepts of ideals, localizations, and homological algebra.
Typically one classifies problems as Algebraic Geometry when stated in terms of points, hypersurfaces, divisors, and other geometric objects, and as Commutative Algebra when stated in terms of ideals and coordinate rings, although in practice techniques from both areas are used in tandem.
The algebraic study of general collections of polynomials is appropriate for this field; the study of individual polynomials or specific collections usually belongs elsewhere.

Homological Algebra Homological methods arose in the 19th century in the work of Riemann and Poincare, who were studying the shape of various kinds of space.
The algebraic methods for doing this by 1945 had become a subject in their own right --- Homological Algebra.
Homological methods have important applications in many other fields besides Algebraic Topology, such as Algebraic Geometry, Commutative Rings, Group Theory, Invariant Theory, Number Theory, and Combinatorics.

This example shows that traditional homological algebra is encompassed by Quillen's homotopical algebra, and indeed this unification was one of the main points of Quillen's influential work [Qui67 ].
Pure homological algebra has applications to phantom maps in the stable homo- topy category [CS98 ] and in the (usual) derived category of a ring [Chr98 ], connections to Kasparov KK-theory [Sch01 ], and is actively studied by algebraists and representation theorists.
In addition to the connection between phantom maps and pure homological algebra, the authors are interested in the pure derived category as a tool for connecting the global pure dimension of a ring R to the behaviour of phantom maps in DC and DP under composition.

Homological Algebra is a common language for many mathematical disciplines where the global properties of objects are essential.
The purpose of this course is to provide an introduction to the subject, basically from algebraic and algebro-geometric perspective.

 An Introduction to Homological Algebra - Cambridge University Press
The landscape of homological algebra has evolved over the last half-century into a fundamental tool for the working mathematician.
The first half of the book takes as its subject the canonical topics in homological algebra: derived functors, Tor and Ext, projective dimensions and spectral sequences.
The last part of the book covers less traditional topics that are a vital part of the modern homological toolkit: simplicial methods, Hochschild and cyclic homology, derived categories and total derived functors.

Abstract: An important example of a model category is the category of unbounded chain complexes of R-modules, which has as its homotopy category the derived category of the ring R. This example shows that traditional homological algebra is encompassed by Quillen's homotopical algebra.
The goal of this paper is to show how more general forms of homological algebra also fit into Quillen's framework.
The motivation for the work is the construction of the "pure derived category" of a ring R. Pure homological algebra has applications to phantom maps in the stable homotopy category and the (usual) derived category of a ring, and these connections will be described.

Homological algebra was developed as an area of study almost 50 years ago, and many books on the subject exist.
Often perceived as dry and abstract, homological algebra nonetheless has important applications in many important areas.
Beyond making classical homological algebra accessible to students, the author's level of detail, while not exhaustive, also makes the book useful for self-study and as a reference for researchers.

This talk will give an overview about what homological algebra is and some of the ideas and applications that motivate it.
Homological algebra is a discipline of mathematics in its own right, but in this talk we will concentrate on homological algebra as a tool for other branches of math.
The aim of this talk is to be much more on the intuitive side (that is, we will sacrifice rigor for intuitive understanding where appropriate) and I encourage everyone to be there.

 Cartan, H. and Eilenberg, S.: Homological Algebra (PMS-19).
When this book was written, methods of algebraic topology had caused revolutions in the world of pure algebra.
The invasion of algebra had occurred on three fronts through the construction of cohomology theories for groups, Lie algebras, and associative algebras.
This book presents a single homology (and also cohomology) theory that embodies all three; a large number of results is thus established in a general framework.
