Metric Spaces (X is a metric space) 1. A neighborhood of p is dened as Nr (p) {q X | d(p, q ) < r}. 2.

2. A point p X is a limit point of the set E X if r > 0 q E such that 0 < d(p, q ) < r. 3. If p E and p is not a limit point of E , (that is, if r > 0 such that (Nr (p) \ p) E = ), then p is called an isolated point of E . 4. E is closed if every limit point of E is a point of E . 5. A point p is an interior point of E if there is a neighborhood of p that is contained in E . Explicitly: if r > 0 such that Nr (p) E . 6. A subset E of X is open if every point of E is an interior point of E . 7. The complement of E , denoted by E c is the set X \ E . 8. E is perfect if E is closed and if every point of E is a limit point of E . 9. E is bounded if M R, q X such that NM (q ) E . 10. E is dense inX if every point of X is either a limit point of E , or a point of E , or both.
