This workshop is an introduction to basic notions of metric spaces and topology, such as closed, open and convex sets, compactness, connectedness and their relation to continuity, as well as "Fixed Point Theorems", which would be the subject of a forthcoming workshop.

Metrics and Topology in their abstract form have many applications in Economics, Space Distribution, Game Theory (Nash's equilibrium theorem) and Social Choice Theory (Arrow's impossibility theorm).
