  • Chapter
Handbook of the History of General Topology

Part of the book series: History of Topology ((HIPO,volume 2))

Abstract

For formulating results or definitions from older papers and books we shall mostly use modern terms and notation to avoid misunderstanding.

“I’ve never seen anything like this on television!”

Peter Sellers in “Being There” by J. Kosinski.

“ ‘Men work together,’ I told him from the heart, ‘Whether they work together or apart.’ ” The Tuft of Flowers, Robert Frost.
