Best books to learn Topology, in order
Topology is where many students first meet real abstraction, so a gentle on-ramp matters. A good path starts with point-set foundations, open sets, continuity, compactness, and connectedness, until the definitions feel natural rather than alien, then moves to algebraic topology, where the fundamental group and homology reward the patience of having the point-set language fully in hand.
