This review is from: Set Topology (Dover Books on Mathematics) (Paperback)

"Set Topology" is a book that bridges between books that only other PHD's read and ones that an engineer just interested in modern topology can read. I wouldn't tell a first time student to read it, but it is written so that if you have a background in topology, you can follow things like Holder's inequality. It has a useful section on convergence topology that applies to much of the applications of modern topology. I frankly wish I hadn't spent the money on it!
