Synopsis

Designed as an introduction with the scope of a reference work, this volume surveys two broad strands of topology. “Continuous topology” is addressed through sections on convergence, compactness, metrisation and complete metric spaces, uniform spaces, and function spaces, while “geometric topology” is developed across nine sections covering connectivity properties, topological characterisation theorems, and homotopy theory.

Each section is supported by related problems that introduce many standard spaces, with 340 exercises in total. Historical notes, a bibliography, and an index add further context, and the text includes 27 figures. Suitable for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students.
