Book Reviews of Introduction to Topology: Third Edition (Dover Books on Mathematics)
Book Review: very mindful of the student
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this book. The problems are excellent. They really hit home and force you to truly understand the content. They get to the crux of the issues (some problems specifically test to make sure you didn't misinterpret a definition for example) and they're also interesting.
The book is carefully written in a simple style. It's a bit hard to explain... For lack of a better explanation, an analogy would be to how Mac computers are simple to use but not lacking in function. One specific example that I can pinpoint is that the author avoids using symbols excessively.
It is not a "layman" book at all however. Some problems take a lot of thinking. Some of them take me a few hours of scribbling in my notebooks and some of them take a few days of mulling over on top of that. But I'm not a math student or math practitioner (only a hobby at this point) so mathematicians-to-be should have an easier time than I.
