Topology


Teacher Evaluations

The Math Dept will collect the evaluations via an online form.
See http://www.casa.uh.edu/TeacherEvaluation .


There is one copy of "General topology" by John L. Kelley placed on reserve (see the shelves on the ground floor).

Midterm

Final

Assignments

Unless mentioned otherwise, the problems below are from Munkres' book.

Please write the solutions on separate pages (i.e., do not hand in a note-book).

Some of the problems might have the answer or a hint in the textbook. If you have to hand in such a problem, you are welcome to use the hint but have to still write a complete solution.
More difficult problems are marked by a *.

Problems that we should discuss are marked with ^. Problems marked with + are ones that you should also clarify.

NOTE: you have to prove all statements that are not proven in the textbook, unless they were discussed in class, or are part of the previous homework assignments.
