Abstract. This paper we provides an alternative proof of Hurewicz theorem when the topological space X is a CW-complex. Indeed, we show that
if X0 C X1 C ... Xn-1 C Xn = X is the CW decomposition of X, then the Hurewicz homomorphism ∏n+1 (Xn+1,Xn) → Hn+1 (Xn+1,Xn) is an isomorphism, and together with a result from Homological Algebra we prove that if X is (n-1)-connected, the Hurewicz homomorphism ∏n (X) → Hn (X) is an isomorphism.

Keywords and phrases. Hurewicz homomorphism, CW-complexes, exact sequence, homotopic groups, homology groups.

Resumen. En este artículo damos una demostración alternativa de el teorema de Hurewicz cuando el espacio topológico X es CW-complejo. En realidad probamos que si X0 C X1 C ... Xn-1 C Xn = X es una descomposición CW de X, el homomorfismo de Hurewicz ∏n+1 (Xn+1,Xn) → Hn+1 (Xn+1,Xn) es un isomorfismo y usando un resultado de álgebra Homológica demostramos que si X es conexo, el homomorfismo de Hurewicz ∏n (X) → Hn (X) es un isomorfismo.
