Recall that a cdga $A$ is a commutative differential graded algebra, meaning that
\begin{itemize}
\begin{itemize}\itemsep0em
\item it has a grading: $A = \bigoplus_{n\in\N} A^n$,
\item it has a differential: $d: A \to A$ with $d^2 = 0$,
\item it has an associative and unital multiplication: $\mu: A \tensor A \to A$ and
\item it has a multiplication: $\mu: A \tensor A \to A$ which is associative and unital and
\item it is commutative: $x y = (-1)^{\deg{x}\cdot\deg{y}} y x$.
\end{itemize}
And all of the above structure is compatible with each other (e.g. the differential is a derivation of degree $1$, the maps are graded, \dots). The exact requirements are stated in the appendix on algebra. An algebra $A$ is augmented if it has a specified map (of algebras) $A \tot{\counit} \k$. Furthermore we adopt the notation $A^{\leq n} = \bigoplus_{k \leq n} A^k$ and similarly for $\geq n$.

In homological algebra we are especially interested in \emph{quasi isomorphisms}, i.e. maps $f: A \to B$ inducing an isomorphism on cohomology: $H(f): HA \iso HB$. This notions makes sense for any object with a differential.

\begin{itemize}\itemsep0em
\item The finite coproduct in $\CDGA_\k$ is the (graded) tensor product.
\item The finite product in $\CDGA_\k$ is the cartesian product (with pointwise operations).
\item The equalizer (resp. coequalizer) of $f$ and $g$ is given by the kernel (resp. cokernel) of $f - g$. Together with the (co)products this defines pullbacks and pushouts.

$S(n)$ plays a another special role: maps from $S(n)$ to some cochain complex $X$ correspond directly to elements in the kernel of $\restr{d}{X^n}$. Any such map is null-homotopic precisely when the corresponding elements in the kernel is a coboundary. So there is a natural isomorphism: $\Hom(S(n), X) / {\simeq} \iso H^n(X)$.
By using the free cdga functor we can turn these cochain complexes into cdga's $\Lambda D(n)$ and $\Lambda S(n) $. So $\Lambda D(n)$ consists of linear combinations of $b^k$ and $c b^k$ when $n$ is even, and it consists of linear combinations of $c^k b$ and $c^k$ when $n$ is odd. In both cases we can compute the differentials using the Leibniz rule:
$$ d(b^k) = k \cdot c b^{k-1} $$
$$ d(c b^k) = 0 $$
$$ d(c^k b) = c^{k+1} $$
$$ d(c^k) = 0 $$

The above Quillen pair $(\Lambda, U)$ fails to be a Quillen pair if $\Char{\k} = p \neq 0$. We will show this by proving that the maps $\Lambda(j_n)$ are not weak equivalences for even $n$. Consider $b^p \in \Lambda D(n)$, then by the Leibniz rule:

So $b^p$ is a cocycle. Now assume $b^p = d x$ for some $x$ of degree $p n - 1$, then $x$ contains a factor $c$ for degree reasons. By the calculations above we see that any element containing $c$ has a trivial differential or has a factor $c$ in its differential, contradicting $b^p = d x$. So this cocycle is not a coboundary and $\Lambda D(n)$ is not acyclic.

Although the abstract theory of model categories gives us tools to construct a homotopy relation (\DefinitionRef{homotopy}), it is useful to have a concrete notion of homotopic maps.

this extends linearly and multiplicatively. Note that it follows that we have $d_0(1-t) = 0$ and $d_1(1-t) = 1$. These two functions extend to tensor products as $d_0, d_1: \Lambda(t, dt) \tensor X \to \k \tensor X \tot{\iso} X$.

So that $S^n(r+1) = \bigvee_{i=1}^{r+1} S^n \cup_{h(r+1)} \coprod_{i=1}^{r} D^{n+1}$. To finish the construction we define $S^n_\Q = \colim_{r} S^n(r)$.
We note two things here. First, at any stage, the inclusion $i : S^n \to S^n(r)$ into the $r$th sphere is a weak equivalence, as we can collapse the (finite) telescope to the last sphere. This identifies $\pi_n(S^n(r)) = \Z$ for all $r$. Secondly, if $i_r: S^n \to S^n(r+1)$ is the inclusion of the $r$th sphere and $i_{r+1} : S^n \to S^n(r+1)$ the inclusion of the last sphere, then $[i_r] = (r+1)[i_{r+1}] \in \pi^n(S^n(r+1))$, by construction. This means that we can divide $[i_r]$ by $r+1$. This shows that the inclusion $S^n(r) \to S^n(r+1)$ induces a multiplication by $r+1$ under the identification $\pi^n(S^n(r)) = \Z$ for all $r$.

The $n$th homotopy group of $S^n_\Q$ can be calculated as follows. We use the fact that the homotopy groups commute with filtered colimits \cite[9.4]{may} to compute $\pi_n(S^n_\Q)$ as the colimit of the terms $\pi_n(S^n(r)) \iso \Z$ and the induced maps as depicted in the following diagram:
