Homotopy groups with coefficients

Abstract

This paper has two goals. It is an expository paper on homotopy groups with coefficients in an abelian group and it contains new results which correct old errors and omissions in low dimensions. The homotopy groups with coefficients are functors on the homotopy category of pointed spaces. They satisfy a universal coefficient theorem, give long exact sequences when applied to fibrations, and have Hurewicz maps into homology groups with coefficients.
