Textbook and preliminary Syllabus
We are using the textbook:
James R. Munkres: "Topology", 2nd
edition, Prentice Hall, 2000, ISBN: 0-13-181629-2 or ISBN: 0-13-178849-8 (the
hardcover and paperback editions seem to have totally different ISBN-numbers)
The plan is to cover most of chapters 2, 3, 4, 7,
and 9 (see the preliminary teaching plan for more information). We will also include the statement but
not the proof of the Tychonoff Theorem (Theorem 37.3) Chapter 1 is not part of
the regular syllabus, but contains background information. Most of this will be
well-known to many of you, but some parts we shall have to pick up as we go
along.
