I've been thinking about this for around 7 months now, which is way too much; Munkres seems like the "typical" introduction to topology book (kind of like how Griffiths is the "typical" E&M text), and various people (from the reviews over at Amazon) make it seem like it is an undergraduate level text. In the textbook however, it says otherwise:
It also claims that the only (main) prerequisite is set theory and maybe some analysis to fill in the gaps in the first part.
Is Munkres a good introductory topology text? And yes, I do have experience with set theory.
This book is intended as a text for a one- or two-semester introduction to topology, at the senior or first-year graduate level.
