Abstract

Based on Morse homology of Morse functions, we give a new proof of the Morse-Bott inequalities for functions with non-degenerate critical manifolds. A proof of the Morse inequalities for functions with isolated critical points as developed by Gromoll-Meyer is also presented with the same method.
