Course Objective

This course aims to teach the basic concepts of point set topology which is needed in several areas of Mathematics. It also aim to contribute students' mathematical development by improving their proof-writing skills and increasing their intiution in constructing examples and counter-examples.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Will be able to write the definitions of a metric space, a topological space, and their fundamental concepts
2   Will be able to describe the open and closed sets of a given topological space
3   Will be able to derive new topological spaces from given ones
4   Will be able to discuss homeomorphisms between topological spaces and some of the topological invariants
5   Will be able to discuss the continuity of a function between topological spaces
6   Will be able to discuss the connectedness and compactness
