5.0 out of 5 stars
Not for the Undergraduate, February 1, 2007
This review is from: Introduction To General Topology (Hardcover)
Professor Cullen says in the preface that this book should be read by the advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate student, but this book in my opinion should only be read by a first- or second-year graduate student. The mathematics in this book is as rigourous as math can possibly get; the proofs are often quite long and sometimes difficult, and the concepts Professor Cullen tries to convey are sometimes very difficult to follow. If you like your math rigourous (trust me, there are people out there that like rigourous mathematics) and you have some backround in topology and real analysis, then this might be for you. But remember, this book is serious mathematics, and if you try to pick this book up with no backround then you'll get eaten alive.
