BOOK INFO: By Kazimierz Kuratowski, Professor of Mathematics and Member of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Containing a supplement on Elements of Algebraic Topology by Professor Ryszard Engelking. Translated from Polish by Leo F. Boron. 'The purpose of the present volume is to give an accessible presentation of the fundamental concepts of set theory and topology; special emphasis being placed on presenting the material from the viewpoint of its applicability to analysis, geometry, and other branches of mathematics such as probability theory and algebra. Consequently, results important for set theory and topology but not having close connections with other branches of mathematics, are given a minor role or are omitted entirely. Such topics are, for instance, investigations on foundations, the theory of alephs, and the theory of curves.' (from the foreword to the first English edition).
