Description

This text is intended as a one-semester undergraduate introduction to point-set topology. It begins with concrete metric spaces and increases in abstraction to address topological spaces. It also includes applications that are not typically found in standard undergraduate topology textbooks. The book uses pre- and in-class activities to make students active participants in their learning. Through the activities and text material, students are carefully introduced to the ideas behind the definitions and theorems to help them develop intuition and understand the logic behind them.
