Description
This topology textbook contains more than enough material for a full year course. Arrangement is in 19 chapters. A sampling of topics: the basic constructs, connectedness and compactness, metric spaces, separation properties, 1- , 2-, and n manifolds, quotient spaces, nets and filters, the algebraization of topology, simplicial theory, and dimension theory. For the new edition (the first was published over 20 years ago), the authors have rewritten many of the proofs and explanatory passages, and added a new chapter with an introduction to the theory of dimension.
