Overview

This course is an introduction to topology. Topology studies shapes and surfaces, sometimes in higher dimensions, along with the continuity properties of functions between two such shapes. We begin with set theory and foundations, and then proceed to topological spaces, metric spaces, connectedness, compactness, countability and separation ax- ioms, completeness, and function spaces.
