This book contains the edited version of lectures and contributed papers presented at the NA TO ADV ANCED RESEARCH WORKSHOP ON TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURES, held at Hotel do Mar, Sesimbra, Portugal, 20 June to 26 June, 1992, and organised by the Mathematical Institutc, The Technical University of Denmark and bv CEMUL-Center of Mechanics and Materials of the Techmcal University of Lisbon, Fifty participants from' fourteen countries attended the workshop,

The essentials of point-set topology, complete with motivation and numerous examples
Topology: Point-Set and Geometric presents an introduction to topology that begins with the axiomatic definition of a topology on a set, rather than starting with metric spaces or the topology of subsets of Rn. This approach includes many more examples, allowing students to develop more sophisticated intuition and enabling them to learn how to write precise proofs in a brand-new context, which is an invaluable experience for math majors.
