Description for Introduction to Metric and Topological Spaces
Paperback. This fully updated new edition of Wilson Sutherland's classic text, Introduction to Metric and Topological Spaces, establishes the language of metric and topological spaces with continuity as the motivating concept, before developing its discussion to cover compactness, connectedness, and completeness. Num Pages: 224 pages, 56 line illustrations. BIC Classification: PBKB; PBM; PBP. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 231 x 156 x 12. Weight in Grams: 350.
One 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 new edition of Wilson Sutherland's classic text 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, using metric spaces as a bridge between the two. The language of metric and topological spaces is established with continuity as the motivating concept. Several concepts are introduced, first in metric spaces and ... Read more

Reviews for Introduction to Metric and Topological Spaces
The presentation, description and explanation throughout the seventeen short chapters are excellent, and the text can be described as self-contained, with many suitably chosen examples and exercises ,.. An interesting innovation for the new edition is having a companion web site in which more useful and relevant materials can be found.
