Summary edit

Description

Let A be an additive category. The homotopy category K(A) is based on the following definition: if we have complexes A, B and maps f, g from A to B, a chain homotopy from f to g is a collection of maps (not a map of complexes) such that

or simply
This can be depicted as shown in the diagram.
