Good set of problems in general topology

642 Views Asked by At

As an undergrad I am halfway through my first course on general topology and to increase my skills wanted to solve some problem. I want to know which books excercise would help me the most - Munkres topology or J.L.Kelley general topology ? Which one has more difficult ones ? Which one has wide range of problems ? This question is asked many time on this website but I am only concerned with these two books only!! So please don't close the question or recommend other books. Thanks in advance.

I would like to recommend MAT327: Big List - which is a large, constantly growing list of problems in general topology. The problems come (or are inspired) from various sources, as listed on the first page of the document. Thanks to Ivan Khatchatourian of the Department of Mathematics, University of Toronto for compiling this big, organized list of amazing problems.

The benefit of using this repository of problems is that it is a collection of "good" problems from several sources. You don't have to spend time filtering books to find "good" problems, Ivan has already done that for us! Moreover, the problems are rated by difficulty, which can be especially helpful for a beginner.
