General Topology: Chapters 5-10 / Edition 1

by N. Bourbaki

Overview

This is the softcover reprint of the 1974 English translation of the later chapters of Bourbaki’s Topologie Generale. Initial chapters study subgroups and quotients of R, real vector spaces and projective spaces, and additive groups Rn. Analogous properties are then studied for complex numbers. Later chapters illustrate the use of real numbers in general topology and discuss various topologies of function spaces and approximation of functions.
