The objective of this book is the systematic study of the ring of all real valued continuous functions on arbitrary topological spaces. Great emphasis is placed on the study of ideals, and on the associated residue class rings. Questions of extending continuous functions from a subspace to the entire space arise as a necessary adjunct and are dealt with in considerable detail. Many problems provide additional information about the material covered in the text.

Previous owners name written in blue pen on front pastedown. ; Contains notes from previous owner. This classic text explores how the algebra of continuous real-valued functions reflects the topology of the space they're defined on. Blending point-set topology with commutative algebra, the book offers a deep and elegant introduction to topological algebra. Ideal for advanced undergraduates or early graduate students, it remains a foundational reference for those interested in the structure of function spaces and their connections to modern analysis. ; 16.2x24.6x2.1cm; xiii,300,(2) pages.
