Excellent text offers comprehensive coverage of elementary general topology as well as algebraic topology, specifically 2-manifolds, covering spaces and fundamental groups. The text is accessible to students at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level who are conversant with the basics of real analysis or advanced calculus. Problems, with selected solutions. Bibliography. 1975 edition.
Topology by John G. Hocking, Gail S. Young Superb one-year course in classical topology. Topological spaces and functions, point-set topology, much more. Examples and problems. Bibliography. Index.
Introduction to Topology: Third Edition by Bert Mendelson An undergraduate introduction to the fundamentals of topology — engagingly written, filled with helpful insights, complete with many stimulating and imaginative exercises to help students develop a solid grasp of the subject.
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.
