The set and topology play an important role in mathematical and computing science. The objective of this course is to explain the fundamentals of the point set topology based on the knowledge about set provided in "Set and Topology I" in the first quarter, and also for the students to built backgrounds to apply the idea of point set topology in mathematical and computing science.
The students are expected to understand the fundamentals of mathematical methods to handle topological structure appeared in mathematical and computing science and also to be able to apply them to practical problems.

By score of the final examination. If you register for "MCS.T222:Exercises in Set and Topology II", its score will be counted as a part of contributions also. Details will be announced in the first lecture.
The students are encouraged to take "MCS.T201:Set and Topology I" and "MCS.T202:Exercises in Set and Topology I" before registering for this course. Also, those who register for this course are strongly encouraged to do for "MCS.T222:Exercises in Set and Topology II" simultaneously.
