A Classic Work in Topology for The Undergraduate and Me, the Amateur!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Dear Readers Author has taken great pains and made great efforts to "push" the student along with a plethora of examples and homework problems, while at the same time plowing forward on the trail to the great generalization of non-metrizability. Those "nasty" collections of open sets each with their nasty collection of "interior points". A concept( interior point ) that took me forty years to understand. Once you understand the concept of open set and interior point the whole thing begins to "fall into place". Then there's that nasty concept of "point of accumulation".( if its tough see Courant vol. 1 Courant is really a master at demonstarating this). Again, all is explained in this book by Kasriel with ample examples and homework questions abounding. Please note: "geek" is not a member of the "set". More later. With Best Regards Southern Jameson West
a great complement to any intro analysis or topology course

Having taken all of real analysis, complex analysis, and topology in a row, I have found that using outside references is key in a complete understanding of the given subject. This book has been my savior through each of those classes. His explanations and proofs are extremely helpful and he touches on every useful aspect of point set topology. The book is rather thin, and I would have hoped for additional sections on the product topology, but all the material he does cover, he covers well. This is a book you should definitely add to your mathematics collection.
