Introduction to Metric and Topological SpacesOne of the ways in which topology has influenced other branches of mathematics in the past few decades is by putting the study of continuity and convergence into a general setting. This book introduces metric and topological spaces by describing some of that influence. The aim is to move gradually from familiar real analysis to abstract topological spaces. The book is aimed primarily at the second-year mathematics student, and numerous exercises are included. |
