Reviews
From the book reviews:
This book by Conway [George Washington Univ.] provides the three stepping-stones for leading a successful practitioner of calculus to proficiency in point set topology, with one chapter devoted to each. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and beginning graduate students. [F. E. J. Linton, Choice, Vol. 51 [11], July, 2014]
The book under review is, as the title makes clear, an introduction to point set topology . Conway wrote this book to give students a set of tools, discussing material [that] is used in almost every part of mathematics. this is a well-written book that I enjoyed reading. Assuming that your idea of what to teach in a first-semester course in topology is in line with the authors, this book would make an excellent text for such a course. [Mark Hunacek, MAA Reviews, January, 2014]
The author is a specialist in analysis with a life long love for point set topology. There is a relatively large collection of well investigated biographies which appear as footnotes, which are interesting and helpful, espacially for young readers. The book will be a success, a good introduction to point set topology and a valuable entrance . [Friedrich Wilhelm Bauer, zbMATH, Vol. 1284, 2014]
