Subject outline
This subject begins with a careful discussion of the various set theoretical results that are required for the subsequent material. This is followed by a discussion of the theory of metric spaces. The most basic properties of open sets in metric spaces can be used to motivate a more generally applicable definition of open sets, which leads to the idea of a topological space.A study of fundamental concepts in the theory of topological spaces such as compactness and connectedness yields results of very general application. The subject concludes with atreatment of quotients and products of topological spaces.
