 Great resource for college-level math students... January 8, 2005

I wish I had known about this summary when I was taking my Fundamental Concepts in Math course at the university. I would have done a lot better! I agree with the previous reviewer about adding REA's Problem Solver book for a complete set.
The topics covered include: (1) Sets and relations, (2) Functions, (3) Cardinality and Order, (4) Topology of the line and plane, (5) Topological Spaces, (6) Bases and Subbases [sic], (7) Continuity and topological equivalence, (7) Metric and normed spaces, (8)Countability, (10) Separation axioms, (11) Compactness, (12) Product spaces, (13) Connectedness, (14) Complete metric spaces, and (15) Function spaces. There is an appendix about Properties of real numbers.
This is a technical book and not for a casual reader. I believe this will be difficult for a teach-yourself-to-know reader, unless the reader has considerable math experience.
Another book that I found helpful in Fundamental Concepts (not simply Topology) was Courant et al., What is mathematics? 2nd ed.
My Fundamental Concepts professor taught the course with only lecture notes, and I was completely lost. Had I had this outline, I think I would have done better, because this Outline has a number of solved problems and exercises.
Good luck.
Very good June 30, 2006

This is a good book. It gives all the prerequisite info in the first couple of chapters in a clear and easy to read, logical order. Good price, also.
An excellent supplement for the learning of topology July 8, 2008
Charles Ashbacher (Marion, Iowa United States(cashbacher@yahoo.com))
When I was taking a master's level course in topology, the first three weeks were easy, a simple continuation of what I had had in set theory, logic and analysis. Then things executed a change in the negative direction. I was lost, puzzled by some of the expressions and the purpose of some of the theorems.
In an attempt to right my mathematical ship, I went to the bookstore and purchased a copy of this book. It was money well spent, after a weekend working through some of the problems, I understood the ideas behind the theorems and was able to solve the problems given on the take-home tests. I received an A in the class and some of that is due to the example problems in this book.
 If you are a good researcher, this is a good resource! July 23, 2002

If you are taking an introductory Topology course, I recommend using this book. It is a little old, and some of the problems are not solved, but it will offer you an advantage when using your class text. You should use Lipschutz's book together with REA's Topology Problem Solver to give you full study advantage when taking on this most difficult subject. With some moderate study, you should do better on your assignements!
