Overview

This text is the first volume of a work in several volumes, treating the history of the development of topology. The work contains papers which can be classified into four main areas. Thus there are contributions dealing with the life and work of individual topologists, with specific schools of topology, with research in topology in various countries, and with the development of topology in different periods. The work is not restricted to topology in the strictest sense but also deals with applications and generalizations in a broad sense. Thus it also treats, for example: categorical topology, interactions with functional analysis, convergence spaces, and uniform spaces.
