What is a good introductory book for topology?

Munkres I think is the name of the author?

>>8592623
i was also thinking about that book, i should pick it up the, it's really cheap on amazon

What, in a laymen's nutshell, is topology? What are its applications?

>topology
The basic spacial shape of something.

Commonly used word in reference to 3d sculpting.

it's a meme

The study of the properties of a space that remains constant under continuous tranformations.

Applications are largely in understanding smooth vector fields/functions and PDEs.

It's not really useful for fields with more complicated non-linear models.

I was suggested this when I asked the same question on /sci/. As someone who knows absolute nothing about the topic it looks pretty basic, but I guess it's alright if you just want to get a sniff of it.

Either this or Munkres.
They are not difficult read.
Or you can read the essentials from any functional analysis texts.

Thanks anon.
btw, how did you know my dick's size?

LMAO i appreciate u bro

That correction is movingly accurate. Thank you

>>8592733
Basically this >>8592806 but without the ironic memelanguage. It's basically study of shapes in any dimension assuming the following:

You can "strech and move any surface as much as you can, as long as you don't tear it.
A surface can pass through another surface* as long as that doesn't make an infinitely small crease.

So as you can see this implies that a kubus is the same as a sphere or a beam. And a torus (donut) is the same as a coffee-mug (because of the ear).

* this is not what you see in the klein bottle, that's just 4D trickery

Non-native English speaker here. By "Comes on kein bottle" does he mean like, spreading his cum over a klein bottle?

>>8597402
the point is about topology, not language. If we imagine that that is the representation of a 4-dimensional klein bottle, you cannot cum IN it per se since a klein bottle is defined as only having one side. It doesn't have an inside that you can cum in. Therefore the correction.

>>8592545

why is that vase fucking itself

>>8597165
>every shipped bottle is guaranteed to have been signed with Cliff's cum

>>8594348
Is there no nonlinear theory of topology?

>>8598223
Not any useful ones.

wait, what?

What is the intuitive topology textbook without circlejerking, citation filled, French math?
