I try to solve the problem: Let's we have a map from torus to torus $f: \mathbb T \to \mathbb T$ that inuducing homomorphism between first groups of homology: $f_*: H_1(\mathbb T) \to H_1(\mathbb T)$ wich has a $2\times2$ matrix $A$. I need to prove that the induced homomorphism between second homology groups is a multiplicaton by $det(A)$. I have biult one of such a map that just transfers both of generators of the $H_1(\mathbb T)$ to the linear combination of the two generators of the $H_1(\mathbb T)$ of the other torus. Such a map is obviuosly inducing $f_*: H_1(\mathbb T) \to H_1(\mathbb T)$ wich has a $2\times2$ matrix $A$ and $f_*: H_2(\mathbb T) \to H_2(\mathbb T)$ that is multiplication by $det(A)$. Then, my idea is to show that the second homology homomorphism in such situation depends only on the first homology homomorphism (I tried use Mayer-Vietoris for this and degree theory but failed). Can you please help with it?
