My semester includes a course in General Topology which includes:
1.Topological spaces
2.Continuous Functions
3.Connectedness
4.Compactness
5.Separation Axioms
6.Product Spaces
7.Complete Metric Spaces
8.Uniform Continuity
9.Baire Category Theorem
I had a course in Metric Spaces in my previous semester.My instructor asked me to look for a book named Munkres.I bought it but could find it going.Is it the best book to go along in this subject?What are the ways to make study of TOPOLOGY interesting?
I tried this book for a week or so but could take out anything from it.Is the problem with the book or I am not able to grasp the subject.Any thoughts of yours would help me.Any other book anyone could recommend?
If you want a good concise book on point set topology check out Topology Without Tears by Sidney A. Morris. The author wrote it so it could be freely distributed online and it has all the basics of point set.
Munkres' book pretty much has EVERYTHING there is to know about basic point set but as MPW said, it's not really good for self-study. Reasoner's suggestion is also great, but G.F. Simmons' book is much more focused on functional analysis, and is probably not the best "first pass" at topology.
Other than that, you'll probably learn everything you need from your class and a few other resources to move onto other exciting areas of mathematics.
