{wiki=May_spectral_sequence}
The May spectral sequence is a mathematical tool used in algebraic topology, particularly in the study of stable homotopy theory and the homotopy theory of spectra. Named after M. M. May, it is particularly useful for computing homotopy groups of spectra and understanding stable homotopy categories. The May spectral sequence arises in the context of a type of cohomology theory called stable cohomology.
