Summary: Good introduction to the basics of topology
Rating: 4
This book gave me my first introduction to the basic concepts of topology and I consider that to have been a point of good fortune. Everything is explained in detail at a level that is appropriate for people who have just mastered calculus. The authors were also thoughtful enough to have included solutions to the exercises, which is something that is just not done often enough. Coverage includes compactness, connectedness, mappings and fixed points; winding numbers, dividing pancakes and sandwiches and vector fields. When students ask me to recommend a basic book on these topics, this is the one that I recommend, which is the highest praise that I can give.
