The approach, however, is radically different from the classical one. It is based on convergence rather than on open and closed sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConvergence of filters is a natural generalization of the basic and well-known concept of convergence of sequences, so that convergence theory is more natural and intuitive to many, perhaps most, students than classical topology. On the other hand, the framework of convergence is easier, more powerful and far-reaching which highlights a need for a theory of convergence in various branches of analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConvergence theory for filters is gradually introduced and systematically developed. Topological spaces are presented as a special subclass of convergence spaces of particular interest, but a large part of the material usually developed in a topology textbook is treated in the larger realm of convergence spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dolecki Syzmon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9814571520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789814571524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Dolecki Syzmon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446716674303,"sku":"9789814571524","price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_140e11b4-f36f-4249-885d-77dcb6b6dec8.jpg?v=1777226487","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/convergence-foundations-of-topology-dolecki-syzmon-9789814571524","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
