Topology of metric spaces S. Kumaresan
Publisher: Alpha Science International, Ltd

I find that when students are first getting to grips with abstract normed, metric and topological spaces, they are prone to making a lot of “category errors” in uttering / writing phrases like. Below are two poems which I found more interesting and entertaining than metric spaces. This section was created so that the movement from metric spaces to topological spaces can be seen as a larger jump than the one from Euclidean spaces to metric spaces. Why does that module seem to be the most uninteresting one of the semester? [Definition] Given a metric space (X, d), a subset U is called open iff for any element u in U, there exists a set B(u,r) = {vd(u,v)<=r}. "Set theory and metric spaces", Chelsea Publishing Co.,. One can't infer whether a metric space is complete just by looking at the underlying topological space. Most of the book deals with metric spaces.. Set theory and metric spaces Volume 298 of AMS Chelsea Publishing. Now the metric space X is also a topological space. Completeness is not a topological property, i.e.
