Simmons? WOW! He's a serious mathematician, e.g., as in his

George F. Simmons, Introduction to Topology and Modern Analysis.

I studied it one summer in an NSF program at Vanderbilt. Then I concluded that he is one heck of a good math writer.

He has elementary textbooks on calculus and differential equations, as well, so you get an entire development from precalculus all the way to topology and analysis from the coherent viewpoint of a legit (but sympathetic) mathematician.
