History of Topology

China Internet Development Report 2018: Blue Book of World Internet Conference Topology, for many years, has been one of the most exciting and influential fields of research in modern mathematics.\n\nAlthough its origins may be traced back several hundred years, it was Poincar� who "gave topology wings" in a classic series of articles published around the turn of the century. While the earlier history, sometimes called the prehistory, is also considered, this volume is mainly concerned with the more recent history of topology, from Poincar� onwards.As will be seen from the list of contents the articles cover a wide range of topics. Some are more technical than others, but the reader without a great deal of technical knowledge should still find most of the articles accessible. Some are written by professional historians of mathematics, others by historically-minded mathematicians, who tend to have a different viewpoint.History of Topology is written by James, I.M. and published by North Holland.
