Elements of Point Set Topology
Topology continues to be a topic of prime importance in contemporary mathematics, but until the publication of this book there were few if any introductions to topology for undergraduates. This book remedied that need by offering a carefully thought-out, graduated approach to point set topology at the undergraduate level. To make the book as accessible as possible, the author approaches topology from a geometric and axiomatic standpoint; geometric, because most students come to the subject with a good deal of geometry behind them, enabling them to use their geometric intuition; axiomatic, because it parallels the student's experience with modern algebra, and keeps the book in harmony with current trends in mathematics. After a discussion of such preliminary topics as the algebra of sets, Euler-Venn diagrams and infinite sets, the author takes up basic definitions and theorems regarding topological spaces (Chapter 1). The second chapter deals with continuous functions (mappings) and homeomorphisms, followed by two chapters on special types of topological spaces (varieties of compactness and varieties of connectedness). Chapter 5 covers metric spaces. Since basic point set topology serves as a foundation not only for functional analysis but also for more advanced work in point set topology and algebraic topology, the author has included topics aimed at students with interests other than analysis. Moreover, Dr. Baum has supplied quite detailed proofs in the beginning to help students approaching this type of axiomatic mathematics for the first time. Similarly, in the first part of the book problems are elementary, but they become progressively more difficult toward the end of the book. References have been supplied to suggest further reading to the interested student.
From Sets and Types to Topology and Analysis
This edited collection bridges the foundations and practice of constructive mathematics and focusses on the contrast between the theoretical developments, which have been most useful for computer science (eg constructive set and type theories), and more specific efforts on constructive analysis, algebra and topology. Aimed at academic logicians, mathematicians, philosophers and computer scientists Including, with contributions from leading researchers, it is up-to-date, highly topical and broad in scope. This is the latest volume in the Oxford Logic Guides, which also includes: 41. J.M. Dunn and G. Hardegree: Algebraic Methods in Philosophical Logic 42. H. Rott: Change, Choice and Inference: A study of belief revision and nonmonotoic reasoning 43. Johnstone: Sketches of an Elephant: A topos theory compendium, volume 1 44.

Elementary Topology
"This textbook on elementary topologycontains a detailed introduction to general topology and an introduction to algebraic topology via its most classical and elernentary segment centered at the notions of fundamental group and covering space. The reader who has mastered the core material acquires a strong background in elementary topology and will feel at home in the environment of abstract mathemeatics."--BOOK JACKET.
