   Format: MarkdownItexI have added to _[[Ext]]_ a section _[Contravariant Ext on ordinary objects](http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Ext#ContravariantExtOnObject)_ with the explicit definition by resolutions. But mainly I added after this a bit of explicit discussion of how to see that the standard formula $H^n(Hom(P_\bullet,A) )$ computes indeed the homotopy classes $X \to \mathbf{B}^n A$. More general abstract discussion along these lines is planned there or at _[[derived functors in homological algebra]]_, but is not done yes.
