| Sep 2, 2018 at 12:04 | comment | added | Stefano Gogioso | I have to disagree: he gives plenty of visual intuition about a subject that is far too often presented in an almost purely algebraic way. I have found that visual intuition enormously helpful whenever I had to plot a high-level course through a topology proof. Imho there should be many more textbooks like that. | |
