Review: This truly is an introduction book - If you are doing a module in metric spaces or topology you ought to read this, cover to cover ('cept maybe the first chapter, but this is always the case! Chapter 0 is never interesting) in your first or second year, you should know all the content (like the back of your hand) if you are doing a third year module. It is a brilliant introduction to everything you will need but is just that - an introduction. There's a superb amount of "hand-holding" in the proofs which I found really useful to boost my confidence, after that I'd start covering proofs and then checking them. This is good! I completely recommend this book, but I do not recommend it is your only topology book (There is another also called "Introduction to topology" with a blue over and an orange torus on the front, from Dover, this is not an introduction it is much more filled out and much faster, if you combine these two, with Munkres' Topology you're set) There is one thing I don't quite like, the treatment of Quotient topologies (or identification topologies) is rather weak and hard to understand, but I cannot write off a brilliant book due to an iffy 5 pages. I have no hesitation in recommending this book. I adore Dover because of the great prices also, I am getting quite the collection! Review: Great Book! - I've recently finished my MPhys in Theoretical Physics, and going to start a Ph.D in Maths. I bought this to get to grips with topology, as I've had no previous exposure and really like the Dover series, I bought this one based on the reviews. The book is structured into manageable chunks, and the topics are very well explained, with lots of questions this book is vital for either studying topology, either self study or as a course supplement. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 176,750 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 139 in Higher Mathematical Education 7,838 in Scientific, Technical & Medical | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (485) | | Dimensions | 13.82 x 1.14 x 21.36 cm | | Edition | 3rd | | ISBN-10 | 0486663523 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0486663524 | | Item weight | 254 g | | Language | English | | Part of series | Dover Books on Mathematics | | Print length | 224 pages | | Publication date | 28 Mar. 2003 | | Publisher | Dover Publications Inc | ## Images ![Introduction to Topology: Third Edition: ix (Dover Books on MaTHEMA 1.4tics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71z0hWPZd4L.jpg) ![Introduction to Topology: Third Edition: ix (Dover Books on MaTHEMA 1.4tics) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/912aGDC+GXL.jpg) ![Introduction to Topology: Third Edition: ix (Dover Books on MaTHEMA 1.4tics) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518gfvd5psL.jpg) ![Introduction to Topology: Third Edition: ix (Dover Books on MaTHEMA 1.4tics) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718JQYgGxcL.jpg) ![Introduction to Topology: Third Edition: ix (Dover Books on MaTHEMA 1.4tics) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fac1n4CzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This truly is an introduction book *by A***C on 5 December 2014* If you are doing a module in metric spaces or topology you ought to read this, cover to cover ('cept maybe the first chapter, but this is always the case!

I bought this to get to grips with topology, as I've had no previous exposure and really like the Dover series, I bought this one based on the reviews. The book is structured into manageable chunks, and the topics are very well explained, with lots of questions this book is vital for either studying topology, either self study or as a course supplement. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A marvellous little book. *by O***N on 24 January 2008* Nice book, very entertaining. I am only on the second chapter ( on metric spaces ) but am finding it interesting enough that I am staying up late reading it. It is very well written and clear. I have minimal mathematical background ( just a little calculus and linear algebra ) and and sadly lacking in knowledge of analysis, but still find this book understandable. This is well worth the modest cost. Heck, this is worth ten times the modest cost ! ## Frequently Bought Together - Introduction to Topology: Third Edition (Dover Books on Mathematics) - Introduction to Graph Theory (Dover Books on Mathematics) - Number Theory (Dover Books on Mathematics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/53301111-introduction-to-topology-third-edition-ix-dover-books-on-mathema](https://www.desertcart.it/products/53301111-introduction-to-topology-third-edition-ix-dover-books-on-mathema) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
