Topology: 2nd edition

Product Information

Follows the present-day trend in the teaching of topology which explores the subject much more extensively with one semester devoted to general topology and a second to algebraic topology. Ex.___ This seminar is an introduction to knot theory, and there is often one each year. Like other junior seminars, students are expected to learn and present a topic on their own. Topics covered vary, but typically include tri-colorability of knots and links, numerical knot invariants such as the crossing number, unknotting number and bridge number, and polynomial invariants such as the Jones polynomial and the Alexander-Conway polynomial. More advanced students may learn about homology invariants, such as the Khovanov homology and the Heegaard Floer homology. urn:lcp:topology0002edmunk:epub:078f159a-239e-4b16-ad86-ee268f263c30 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier topology0002edmunk Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s2zj69n2956 Invoice 1652 Isbn 8120320468 Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2022-01-25 17:07:37 Autocrop_version 0.0.5_books-20210916-0.1 Bookplateleaf 0008 Boxid IA40327619 Camera Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier

That said, they're all highly recommended. However, one new(er) to the concepts of algebraic and general topology will probably find this book to be more accessible, even if the algebraic treatment is too light to properly slake the gullet of a more seasoned topologist. Below are links to answers and solutions for exercises in the Munkres (2000) Topology, Second Edition.Advanced topics—Such as metrization and imbedding theorems, function spaces, and dimension theory are covered after connectedness and compactness.

The reason I've given this long explanation (because I hope it will also help others studying Topology who have similarities), is because the path most Topology students follow is the following

Carefully guides students through transitions to more advanced topics being careful not to overwhelm them. Motivates students to continue into more challenging areas. Ex.___ I'm currently studying Algebraic Topology and Differential Topology (and Differential Geometry) on my own, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it, but currently it seems that Algebraic Topology and Differential Topology, don't use that much General Topology apart from Compactness, Connectedness and the basics. I've yet to see (in my limited knowledge of Alg and Diff Topology) any real use of things like Separation Axioms and deeper theory from General Topology.

After making my way through Dover's excellent Algebraic Topology and Combinatorial Topology (sadly out of print), I was recommended this on account of its 'clean, accessible' (1) layout, and its wise choice of 'not completely dedicating itself to the Jordan (curve) theorem'. (2)NEW - Greatly expanded, full-semester coverage of algebraic topology—Extensive treatment of the fundamental group and covering spaces. What follows is a wealth of applications—to the topology of the plane (including the Jordan curve theorem), to the classification of compact surfaces, and to the classification of covering spaces. A final chapter provides an application to group theory itself.
