Elements of Point-Set Topology by John D. Baum
Basic treatment, specially designed for undergraduates, covers preliminaries (sets, relations, etc.), topological spaces, continuous functions (mappings) and homeomorphisms, special types of topological spaces, metric spaces, more. Geometric and axiomatic approach for easier accessibility. Exercises. Bibliography.
