Text: Introduction to Topological Manifolds, 2nd ed. by John (Jack) M. Lee; we will study chapters 1 through 12.
Note that this is available as an e-book from the Math Library, but you must be logged in with your UWNetID to see it (with no charge).
Also note that on the SpringerLink page for the book, the "MyCopy Soft Cover Edition" link lets you order a hard copy for $24.99!
I will assume you have entered all important corrections in your hard copy of the text, and that you remember to stay aware of them when using the e-copy.
Please report any additional errors you suspect to me or directly to Professor Lee.
