This book provides a concise introduction to topology and is necessary for courses in
differential geometry functional analysis algebraic topology etc. Topology is a fundamental
tool in most branches of pure mathematics and is also omnipresent in more applied parts of
mathematics. Therefore students will need fundamental topological notions already at an early
stage in their bachelor programs. While there are already many excellent monographs on general
topology most of them are too large for a first bachelor course. Topology fills this gap and
can be either used for self-study or as the basis of a topology course.
