Class Objectives
/Class Outline This course is a rigorous introduction to general topology (point set topology). We start from the set theory and introduce topology on a set. We discuss continuous mappings between topological spaces and further standard topics on topological spaces. These will be necessary to understand the fundamental groups and higher homotopy groups to describe topological defects.

Class Schedule lesson1 Sets
lesson2 Mappings
lesson3 Equivalence relation and equivalence class
lesson4 Cardinality: countable and uncountable sets
lesson5 Ordering
lesson6 Metric spaces
lesson7 Topology and topological spaces
lesson8 Base and subbase
lesson9 Continuous mappings and homeomorphisms
lesson10 Derived concepts
lesson11 Product topology and subspace
lesson12 Quotient topology, separation axioms
