Introduction to Topology's principal aim is to provide a simple, thorough survey of elementary topics in the study of collections of objects, or sets, that possess a mathematical structure.Highly regarded for its exceptional clarity, imaginative and instructive exercises, and fine writing style, this concise book offers an ideal introduction to the fundamentals of topology. It provides a simple, thorough survey of elementary topics, starting with set theory and advancing to metric and topological spaces, connectedness, and compactness. Originally conceived as a text for a onesemester course, it is directed to undergraduate students whose studies of calculus sequence have included definitions and proofs of theorems. Throughout the text, Dr. Mendelson, a former Professor of Mathematics at Smith College, has included many challenging and stimulating exercises to help students develop a solid grasp of the material presented. 1975 edition.Comprehensive Introduction to Topology: Offers a thorough overview of fundamental topology concepts, perfect for a onesemester course.
