Math 445 - Introduction to Metric and Topological Spaces, Fall 2009

This course will give an introduction to topology, which is the study of the "shape" of spaces. The subject is a mix of the study of the menagerie of examples of sets and spaces whose properties are revealed by the axioms of the subject, and careful reasoning from the axioms. The goal of the course is actually two-fold: one is to master the basics of the subject; the other is to sharpen your skills of mathematical thinking, especially using geometric intutition to discover the many new ideas of the subject.
