(Salesian College, Siliguri) – The institution, Salesian College (Autonomous), Siliguri, celebrates the publication of a new academic volume by Assistant Professor Subhajit Paul, former Dean of Faculty of Sciences and long‑time faculty member of the Department of Mathematics. Released by Springer in May 2026, the book systematically develops the theory of Metric Spaces, serving as a vital bridge between classical Real Analysis and General Topology.
Designed for senior undergraduate and graduate students, the text offers formal definitions, theorems, proofs, examples, remarks, exercises, and explanatory notes. Instructors will find its numerous examples and miscellaneous results useful for structuring their teaching approach. The book’s seven chapters begin with a concise listing of primary results from undergraduate Real Analysis, while subsequent chapters adapt these foundations to the context of Metric Spaces. Four appendices complement the main text, including a special discussion on the Cantor set, offering insight into this notable mathematical concept.
Mr Paul has served at Salesian College since 2013, leading the Department of Mathematics as Head from 2016 to 2024. He earned his Master’s degree from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Centre for Applicable Mathematics (TIFR‑CAM), Bengaluru, in 2010. His latest publication underscores the College’s growing contribution to advanced mathematical research and pedagogy.
