Book Description:
|
Describes how set-theoretic topology developed and why it now occupies a central place in mathematics. Describing axiomatic method as well as providing a definition of what a geometric property is, this examines how early analysts incorporated geometric thinking into their development of calculus. It also looks at the mathematicians who struggled to develop a new conceptual framework for mathematics and examines dimension theory, one of the sub-disciplines of set-theoretic topology.
