Be At One With The Topological Cosmos
I used this textbook to supplement Dr. Cain's notes in a topology class at Georgia Tech. I found it to be an excellent introduction to the subject. Theorems are proved with clarity, and the exercises inspire thought about the subject matter. This book was the first place I encountered a proof of the Tychonoff Product Theorem. The proof was presented very well, in my...

Be At One With The Topological Cosmos,
By Joseph Montgomery (Georgia Institute of Technology) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Introduction to General Topology (Hardcover)
I used this textbook to supplement Dr. Cain's notes in a topology class at Georgia Tech. I found it to be an excellent introduction to the subject. Theorems are proved with clarity, and the exercises inspire thought about the subject matter. This book was the first place I encountered a proof of the Tychonoff Product Theorem. The proof was presented very well, in my opinion. In addition, there is no shortage of examples in each section. I would heartily recommend this book to anyone with an interest in learning general topology.

I don't understand why publishing companies think that we are going to pay 120 bucks for a paperback edition of a book on a subject that is not even "state of the art - frontiers of the science" kind. |
