This volume explains nontrivial applications of metric space topology to analysis, clearly establishing their relationship. Also, topics from elementary algebraic topology focus on concrete results with minimal algebraic formalism. Two chapters consider metric space and point-set topology; the other 2 chapters discuss algebraic topological material. Includes exercises, selected answers, and 51 illustrations. 1983 edition.

Topology by John G. Hocking, Gail S. Young Superb 1-year course in classical topology. Topological spaces and functions, point-set topology, much more. Examples and problems. Bibliography. Index.
Counterexamples in Topology by Lynn Arthur Steen, J. Arthur Seebach, Jr. Over 140 examples, preceded by a succinct exposition of general topology and basic terminology. Each example treated as a whole. Numerous problems and exercises correlated with examples. 1978 edition. Bibliography.
Topology for Analysis by Albert Wilansky Three levels of examples and problems make this volume appropriate for students and professionals. Abundant exercises, ordered and numbered by degree of difficulty, illustrate important topological concepts. 1970 edition.
Algebraic Topology: Homology and Cohomology by Andrew H. Wallace This self-contained treatment studies several algebraic invariants: the fundamental group, singular and Cech homology groups, and a variety of cohomology groups. Extensive appendixes review background material. 1970 edition.
Point Set Topology by Steven A. Gaal Suitable for a complete course in topology, this text also functions as a self-contained treatment for independent study. Additional enrichment materials make it equally valuable as a reference. 1964 edition.
