A Comprehensive Textbook on Metric Spaces

Beschreibung

This textbook provides a comprehensive course in metric spaces. Presenting a smooth takeoff from basic real analysis to metric spaces, every chapter of the book presents a single concept, which is further unfolded and elaborated through related sections and subsections. Apart from a unique new presentation and being a comprehensive textbook on metric spaces, it contains some special concepts and new proofs of old results, which are not available in any other book on metric spaces. It has individual chapters on homeomorphisms and the Cantor set. This book is almost self-contained and has an abundance of examples, exercises, references and remarks about the history of basic notions and results. Every chapter of this book includes brief hints and solutions to selected exercises. It is targeted to serve as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students of mathematics.

Rezensionen

This textbook provides a student-friendly transition from real analysis to general metric spaces. The book is rich in examples and exercises . This book surveys many interesting results in the theory of metric spaces. Moreover, it contains more than 900 exercises across chapters and appendices. Many of these exercises are original . The book is a very welcome addition to the literature on metric space theory and it is very valuable for graduate mathematical students. (Oleksiy Dovgoshey, zbMATH 1547.54001, 2024)
