Topology of Metric Spaces

Binding: Paper Back
Dimension: 160mm x 240mm
Textbook

About the book

Topology of Metric Spaces gives a very streamlined development of a course in metric space topology emphasizing only the most useful concepts, concrete spaces and geometric ideas to encourage geometric thinking, to treat this as a preparatory ground for a general topology course, to use this course as a surrogate for real analysis and to help the students gain some perspective of modern analysis.

Key Features

All concepts introduced using the primitive concepts of open balls or open sets / Geometric motivations of concepts, definitions and results / Real life motivations and analogies ? Lots of concrete and geometric examples and pictures / Numerous exercises in meaningful contexts, with copious hints to most of them / Typical applications of major results / Attention to the difficulties faced by beginners / Most of the proofs start with the strategy of the proof so as to enable good students to work on their own / Prepares the ground for higher aspects of topology and analysis. / Eminently suitable for self-study, this book may also be used as a supplementary text for courses in general (or point-set) topology so that students will acquire a lot of concrete examples of spaces and maps.

About the book

A First Course in Algebraic Topology starts with the basic notions of category, functors and homotopy of continuous mappings including relative homotopy. Fundamental groups of circles and torus have been treated along with the fundamental group of covering spaces. Simplexes and complexes are presented in detail and two homology theories-simplicial homology and singular homology have been considered along with calculations of some homology groups.

About the book

Foundations of Complex Analysis is aimed at giving students a good foundation of complex analysis and provides a basis for solving problems in mathematics, physics, engineering and many other sciences. Each chapter is supplemented with well-structured examples, and exercises with hints and outlines for solutions. This book can be used as a textbook for a two semester course in complex analysis, or as a supplementary text for an advanced course in function theory. This second edition has gone through a major revision of the 1995 edition. As far as possible many sections are made less dependent on other sections in order to ensure flexibility in designing a course content.

Key Features

New to the Second Edition: / Hadamard’s three circles theorem / Schwarz-Pick lemma / Poisson Integral Formula / Monodromy theorem / Hadamard product representation / Riemann mapping theorem / Picard’s little theorem The author has published over 80 research articles, research monographs, and text books including Foundations of Functional Analysis (Narosa Publishing House, India).
