The Basic Concepts and Constructions of General Topology

  • Chapter
General Topology I

Part of the book series: Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences ((EMS,volume 17))

Abstract

General topology is the domain of mathematics devoted to the investigation of the concepts of continuity and passage to a limit at their natural level of generality. The most basic concepts of general topology, that of a topological space and a continuous map, were introduced by Hausdorff in 1914.
