Toplogy book for study of dynamical systems

AI Thread Summary
For undergraduates seeking a solid introduction to topology and metric spaces, particularly those with a background in basic real and complex analysis, Munkres' "Topology" is recommended, though it may not fully meet the need for visual aids. Visual learners may benefit from supplementary resources, such as YouTube videos that cover basic topology concepts with diagrams. Engaging with visual content can enhance understanding, especially for those new to the subject. The discussion highlights the importance of finding resources that align with individual learning preferences, particularly for complex topics like topology in the context of non-linear dynamical systems.

need a good book on topology and metric spaces! I'm an undergrad taking a course on non-linear dynamical systems, just realising my pre-knowledge is slightly under the requirement since I have not taken any course on topology. I only know basic real analysis and some complex analysis.
so any good introduction on topology would be good. In particular, I prefer a lot of diagrams which can help with visaulising the concepts. many thanks in advance!

Thanks for the post! Sorry you aren't generating responses at the moment. Do you have any further information, come to any new conclusions or is it possible to reword the post?
 
Well, Munkres Topology is a possibility, but I'm not sure it would be quite what you want. I'm a very visual thinker, but I'm pretty good at generating my own visuals, so I don't always bother to track down the best book for that, especially if it's kind of introductory level stuff. You might want to try youtube. I'm too lazy to track it down, but I think I came across some good basic topology videos. I was only interested in a certain topic, since I already know the subject, so I only saw a couple, myself, but I think there are more out there.
 
For the following four books, has anyone used them in a course or for self study?

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
