In this text, all the topological spaces considered are metrical space. Before launching into the main subject of this chapter, topology, we will examine the intuitive meanings of geometric objects in general, and the properties that define them. In the notion of a topological vector space, there is a very nice interplay between the algebraic structure of a vector space and a topology on the space, basically so that the vector space operations are continuous mappings.
