| Kurzbeschreibung
This book is structured around a theoretical framework of topology and moves from the concrete to the abstract. A substantial rigorous treatment of basic topology, balanced between point set topology, geometric topology, algebraic topology, combinatorial topology, and differential topology is provided. The majority of applications come from topics other than point set topology with the text structured to allow instructors to progress quickly to those topics.
