Exercises—Varied in difficulty from the routine to the challenging. Supplementary exercises at the end of several chapters explore additional topics. Greatly expanded, full-semester coverage of algebraic topology—Extensive treatment of the fundamental group and covering spaces. What follows is a wealth of applications—to the topology of the plane (including the Jordan curve theorem), to the classification of compact surfaces, and to the classification of covering spaces. A final chapter provides an application to group theory itself. A topology on an object is a structure that determines which subsets of the object are open sets; such a structure is what gives the object properties such as compactness, connectedness, or even convergence of sequences. For example, when we say that [0,1] is compact, what we really mean is that with the usual topology on the real line R, the subset [0,1] is compact. We could easily give R a different topology (e.g., the lower limit topology), such that the subset [0,1] is no longer compact. Point-set topology is the subfield of topology that is concerned with constructing topologies on objects and developing useful notions such as separability and countability; it is closely related to set theory.Advanced topics—Such as metrization and imbedding theorems, function spaces, and dimension theory are covered after connectedness and compactness.

I found it to be an even better approach to the subject than the Dover books. That said, they're all highly recommended. However, one new(er) to the concepts of algebraic and general topology will probably find this book to be more accessible, even if the algebraic treatment is too light to properly slake the gullet of a more seasoned topologist.

Should I learn some Pointfree Topology (Frame Theory)?. Also I should mention that I don't want to specialize in General Topology. He was elected to the 2018 class of fellows of the American Mathematical Society. [5] Textbooks [ edit ]The reason I've given this long explanation (because I hope it will also help others studying Topology who have similarities), is because the path most Topology students follow is the following

Obstructions to the smoothing of piecewise-differentiable homeomorphisms, Ann. of Math., vol. 72 (1960) This book provides a convenient single text resource for bridging between general and algebraic topology courses. Two separate, distinct sections (one on general, point set topology, the other on algebraic topology) are each suitable for a one-semester course and are based around the same set of basic, core topics This seminar is an introduction to knot theory, and there is often one each year. Like other junior seminars, students are expected to learn and present a topic on their own. Topics covered vary, but typically include tri-colorability of knots and links, numerical knot invariants such as the crossing number, unknotting number and bridge number, and polynomial invariants such as the Jones polynomial and the Alexander-Conway polynomial. More advanced students may learn about homology invariants, such as the Khovanov homology and the Heegaard Floer homology. Firstly I apologize if this is a bit of a soft question, it's hard for me to ask this quite concretely so I do apologize if this post doesn't seem like I'm asking something immediately.

Truth be told, this is more of an advanced analysis book than a Topology book, since that subject began with Poincare's Analysis Situs (which introduced (in a sense) and dealt with the two functors: homology and homotopy). Deepen students' understanding of concepts and theorems just presented rather than simply test comprehension. The supplementary exercises can be used by students as a foundation for an independent research project or paper. Ex.___ Munkres completed his undergraduate education at Nebraska Wesleyan University [2] and received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1956; his advisor was Edwin E. Moise. Earlier in his career he taught at the University of Michigan and at Princeton University. [2]

For a senior undergraduate or first year graduate-level course in Introduction to Topology. Appropriate for a one-semester course on both general and algebraic topology or separate courses treating each topic separately. Notes on the adjunction, compactification, and mapping space topologies from John Terilla's topology course. Carefully guides students through transitions to more advanced topics being careful not to overwhelm them. Motivates students to continue into more challenging areas. Ex.___James Raymond Munkres (born August 18, 1930) is a Professor Emeritus of mathematics at MIT [1] and the author of several texts in the area of topology, including Topology (an undergraduate-level text), Analysis on Manifolds, Elements of Algebraic Topology, and Elementary Differential Topology. He is also the author of Elementary Linear Algebra. Each of the text's two parts is suitable for a one-semester course, giving instructors a convenient single text resource for bridging between the courses. The text can also be used where algebraic topology is studied only briefly at the end of a single-semester course. Ex.___ Topology, in broad terms, is the study of those qualities of an object that are invariant under certain deformations. Such deformations include stretching but not tearing or gluing; in laymen’s terms, one is allowed to play with a sheet of paper without poking holes in it or joining two separate parts together. (A popular joke is that for topologists, a doughnut and a coffee mug are the same thing, because one can be continuously transformed into the other.) Another subfield is geometric topology, which is the study of manifolds, spaces that are locally Euclidean. For example, hollow spheres and tori are 2-dimensional manifolds (or “2-manifolds”). Because of this Euclidean feature, very often (although unfortunately not always), a differentiable structure can be put on manifolds, and geometry (which is the study of local properties) can be used as a tool to study their topology (which is the study of global properties). A very famous example in this field is the Poincaré conjecture, which was proven using (advanced) geometric notions such as Ricci flows. Of course, algebraic tools are still useful for these spaces.
