Introduction. In (1–3,6) it is shown that homological algebra can be applied to stable homotopy-theory. In this application, we deal with A -modules, where A is the mod p Steenrod algebra. To obtain a concrete geometrical result by this method usually involves work of two distinct sorts. To illustrate this, we consider the spectral sequence of (1,2):

Here each group Extss, t which occurs in the E2 term can be effectively computed; the process is purely algebraic. However, no such effective method is given for computing the differentials dr in the spectral sequence, or for determining the group extensions by which is built up from the E∞ term; these are topological problems.
