Abstract:

An elementary proof is given that, under certain conditions on a space $F$, the homotopy set $[X,F]$ maps bijectively onto the inverse limit of homotopy sets determined by the finite subcomplexes of $X$. The only other satisfactory proof known requires the Brown representability theorem.
