Topology: A Geometric Approach

This introduction to topology emphasises a geometric approach with a focus on surfaces. A primary feature is a large collection of exercises and projects, which fosters a teaching style making the student an active class participant. A wide range of material at different levels supports flexible use of the book for a variety of students. Part I is appropriate for a one semester or two quarter course, and Part II, (which is problem based), allows the book to be used for a year long course which supports a variety of syllabuses.
