Explorations in Topology, Second Edition, provides students a rich experience with low-dimensional topology (map coloring, surfaces, and knots), enhances their geometrical and topological intuition, empowers them with new approaches to solving problems, and provides them with experiences that will help them make sense of future, more formal topology courses.
The book's innovative story-line style models the problem-solving process, presents the development of concepts in a natural way, and engages students in meaningful encounters with the material. The updated end-of-chapter investigations provide opportunities to work on many open-ended, non-routine problems and, through a modified "Moore method," to make conjectures from which theorems emerge.
The revised end-of-chapter notes provide historical background to the chapter's ideas, introduce kanon terminology, and make connections with mainstream mathematics. The final chapter of projects provides ideas for continued research.
Explorations in Topology, Second Edition, enhances upper division courses and is a valuable reference for all levels of students and researchers working in topology.Features include: students begin to solve substantial problems from the start; ideas unfold through the context of a storyline, and students become actively involved; the text models the problem-solving process, presents the development of concepts in a natural way, and helps the reader engage with the material.
