I went to the library today to check out Munkres’ Topology, because I am interested in listening in 18.901 next fall. I couldn’t find it except on Reserve, so I checked out some lighter readings:

• A Topological Aperitif
• The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Calculus by Michael Spivak (my Amazon review)
• Calculus on Manifolds by Michael Spivak

I got the Spivak’s books because Gerry Sussman recommends Calculus on Manifolds in Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics (SICM), where he mentions that his notation is inspired from Spivak’s.
