This book is an introduction to elementary topology presented in an
intuitive way, emphasizing the visual aspect. Examples of
nontrivial and often unexpected topological phenomena acquaint the
reader with the picturesque world of knots, links, vector fields,
and two-dimensional surfaces. The book begins with definitions
presented in a tangible and perceptible way, on an everyday level,
and progressively makes them more precise and rigorous, eventually
reaching the level of fairly sophisticated proofs. This allows
meaningful problems to be tackled from the outset. Another unusual
trait of this book is that it deals mainly with constructions and
maps, rather than with proofs that certain maps and constructions
do or do not exist. The numerous illustrations are an essential
feature. The book is accessible not only to undergraduates but also
to high school students and will interest any reader who has some
feeling for the visual elegance of geometry and topology.
