The Teaching of Mathematics: Universal Topological Spaces.

Magill, K. D., Jr.

American Mathematical Monthly, v95 n10 p942-46 Dec 1988

The problem of finding all topological spaces is considered. Two characterizations are presented whose proofs involve only elementary notions and techniques. The problem is appropriate for students in a beginning topology course after they have been presented with the Embedding Lemma. (DC)
