I find it fascinating that this one--not updated since 1965 despite a new cover and more accurate tally of the number of solved problems, and dealing with an abstract subject that would seem to have a very limited readership--is so well done. It covers most of the first half of Munkres' famous book, or nearly all of Sutherland's newer Introduction to Metric and Topological Spaces, with many more examples and solved problems than either. It is extremely user friendly, and each chapter reads well though, given the abstraction of the topic, I found it best to read each chapter two or three times before working the problems. The first three review chapters were a bit dull, but then it takes off with a nice review of real analysis in chapter 4, "Topology of the Line and Plane." I liked the Hilbert Space coverage in Chapter 8,"Metric and Normed Spaces," but wish there was a bit more on that subject. I am using this for home study some 25 years after dropping topology in college (ironically Munkres was my advisor and teacher!) because I didn't quite yet have the mathematical maturity to take the course. Had I only discovered this book back then, and worked through Chapters 5 - 10 the summer before, I think the course would have been no problem. A great little book, and cheap. As an update: To test my theory that this book might make a topology course pretty easy, I finally took some hours off from work, registered as a graduate student at my local u, and took a semester of General Topology there. Really good experience, beautiful subject, fun. The old Schaum's had prepared me well, and during the course I referred to several of its proofs for nowhere dense spaces, Baire's category theorem, subbases, and connectedness. Review: Great purchase for start study in Topology - Schaums Outline books are very useful for those people who wants to begin in any study. As supplementary textbook are great option, before to start with more advanced ones. Well we can't compare this book with the classic about Topology, but that isn't means this book be a bad choice. Actually, this is a great book, is a quickly summary of more important contents of General Topology, and has a great account of exercises not only in Topology field but also basic real analysis and set theory. What is the best of this book? Well, this is a re-impression of a classic Schaums Edition from 1968, for collectors this is a great and cheap option. For a student this one is a great start point, and for teacher, I must to say, for a introductory course this is a good book. About this edition, paper is better than ancient, there isn't change in fonts, or chapters, I recommend for beginners and not mathematicians students! I love it! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #208,236 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #15 in Topology (Books) #594 in Test Prep & Study Guides #1,293 in Study Guides (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (86) | | Dimensions | 8.12 x 0.58 x 10.88 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0071763473 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0071763479 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Schaum's Outlines | | Print length | 254 pages | | Publication date | September 9, 2011 | | Publisher | McGraw Hill | ## Images ![Schaums Outline of General Topology - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zVP36mEHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A gem among the Schaum's series; all editions are the same, however *by T***X on June 17, 2012* I think the Schaum's Outline Series does a real service to students of science and mathematics, but the quality varies a bit from book to book.
