Introduction to Uniform Spaces

This book is based on a course taught to an audience of undergraduate and graduate students at Oxford and can be viewed as a bridge between the study of metric spaces and general topological spaces. About half the book is devoted to relatively little-known results much of which is published here for the first time. The author sketches a theory of uniform transformation groups leading to the theory of uniform spaces over a base and hence to the theory of uniform covering spaces. Readers interested in general topology will find much to interest them here.
