A good, low cost intro to topology

This is a great book, especially considering the price. If you have some real analysis and group theory under your belt, then this will provide an enjoyable introduction to topology. It moves through point-set, basic combinatorial techniques, homotopy theory, simplicial homology, and a brief peek at differential manifolds. The author has done a good job of explaining basic concepts. By putting this in a Euclidean setting, you do not get a completely general approach, but you can cover a lot of (conceptual) ground with some economy.If you need to brush up on analysis first, I recommend Rosenlict's INTRO TO ANALYSIS.
