Summary: "Topology is a branch of pure mathematics that considers the abstract relationships found within geometry and analysis. Written with the mathematically 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, making them easy to follow. Historical comments are dispersed throughout the text, and exercises that vary 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 necessary for writing clear and precise proofs."--BOOK JACKET.
