Topology is a branch of pure mathematics that deals with the abstract relationships found in geometry and analysis. Written with the mature student in mind, Foundations of Topology, Second Edition, provides a user-friendly, clear, and concise introduction to this fascinating area of mathematics. The author introduces topics that are well-motivated with thorough proofs, that make them easy to follow. Historical comments are dispersed throughout the text, and exercises, varying in degree of difficulty, are found at the end of each chapter. Foundations of Topology is an excellent text for teaching students how to develop the skills for writing clear and precise proofs.

Proof Reading is Important,
This review is from: Foundations of Topology (Jones and Bartlett Publishers Series in Mathematics) (Hardcover)
Each section of this text is plagued with typographical errors, many of which alter the meaning of important statements. Long equations are frequently typeset in-line, making much of the text difficult to read. Also, the author should note the words homomorphism and homeomorphism are not interchangeable. The list goes on...
I would not recommend this text for an introductory course, as students will spend more time deciphering the author's intent than learning mathematics.
