Description:

General topology offers a valuable tool to students of mathematics, particularly in such courses as complex, real, and functional analysis. This introductory treatment is essentially self-contained and features explanations and proofs that relate to every practical aspect of point set topology. Hundreds of exercises appear throughout the text. 1977 edition.
