It contains the essential topological ideas that are needed for the further study of manifolds, particularly in the context of differential geometry, algebraic topology, and related fields. Its guiding philosophy is to develop these ideas rigorously but economically, with minimal prerequisites and plenty of geometric intuition. Although this second edition has the same basic structure as the first edition, it has been extensively revised and clarified; not a single page has been left untouched. The major changes include a new introduction to CW complexes (replacing most of the material on simplicial complexes in Chapter 5); expanded treatments of manifolds with boundary, local compactness, group actions, and proper maps; and a new section on paracompactness. This text is designed to be used for an introductory graduate course on the geometry and topology of manifolds. It should be accessible to any student who has completed a solid undergraduate degree in mathematics. The author’s book Introduction to Smooth Manifolds is meant to act as a sequel to this book. Review: Super good textbook - I went through this book and did all exercises and problems except Chapter 12. It is very worthwhile to read this book thoroughly. Highly recommend to beginners on Topology. Here are some major points that makes this book extraordinary: 1. Most of topology books contains a lot of hand-waving, which is not suitable for beginners. When reading these books, the boundary of what is obvious and what is not becomes more and more blur. But this book is doing every thing very rigorous. There are only a few of hand-waiving in the book. The author always laid out necessary foundation for readers to fill the gap by themselves. 2. This book focuses on manifolds and is not intent to give the most general results. It doesn't deal with many strange spaces or examples at least in the main text. In this way, reader could have a good whole picture, instead of losing vision on some special points 3. Theorems and Lemmas are organized super super nicely. Theorems are used to paint the picture while Lemmas builds the toolbox. 4. The exercises are generally easy. Problems are not too hard. Most of the answers can be found on stackoverflow as the author suggested. Review: Good book good examples straight to the point - I went with some course on YouTube that went with this book, this book + the YouTube course was πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ. Book came also in great shape. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #252,840 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #16 in Topology (Books) #361 in Mathematics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 83 Reviews | ## Images ![Introduction to Topological Manifolds (Graduate Texts in Mathematics, 202) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YTEmvK98L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super good textbook *by Y***U on May 21, 2023* I went through this book and did all exercises and problems except Chapter 12.
