Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to introduce just enough topology for later requirements. It is assumed that the reader has had a course in advanced calculus and so is acquainted with open, closed, compact, and connected sets in Euclidean space (see for example Marsden [1974a] and Rudin [1976]). If this background is weak, the reader may find the pace of this chapter too fast. If the background is under control, the chapter should serve to collect, review, and solidify concepts in a more general context. Readers already familiar with point set topology can safely skip this chapter.
