Taking a direct route, "Essential Topology" brings the most important aspects of modern topology within reach of a second-year undergraduate student. It begins with a discussion of continuity and, by way of many examples, leads to the celebrated "Hairy Ball theorem" and on to homotopy and homology: the cornerstones of contemporary algebraic topology.
While containing all the key results of basic topology, Essential Topology never allows itself to get mired in details. Instead, the focus throughout is on providing interesting examples that clarify the ideas and motivate the student.
With chapters on: continuity and topological spaces; deconstructionist topology; the Euler number; homotopy groups including the fundamental group; simplicial and singular homology, and fibre bundles.
"Essential Topology" contains enough material for two semester-long courses, and offers a one-stop-shop for undergraduate-level topology, leaving students motivated for postgraduate study in the field, and well-prepared for it.
