[edit] What is a topology on a set?

Interior points of a set
<m>P \\in int(A) </m> if there exists a ball <m>B</m> centered at <m>P</m> with radius r>0 s.t. <m>B \\subset A</m>
[AW: note/question about this on the discussion page]
Open sets
<m>A \\subset R^{n} </m> is open if <m> A = int(A)</m>
Closed sets. 
A set <m> A </m> is said to be closed if it's complement <m>R^{n} - A</m> is open.
    • Neighborhood of a point.
    • Exterior point of a set. Exterior of a set.
    • Boundary point of a set. Boundary of a set.
    • Compact sets.
    • Acumulation point of a set.

[edit] The "ball" topology on Rn

    • The norm-2 on Rn.
    • Open balls in norm-2.
    • Open sets in the norm-2 topology.

[edit] The "box" topology on Rn

    • The norm-infinity on Rn.
    • Open balls in norm-infinity.
    • Open sets in the norm-infinity topology.
  • Fact: The "ball" topology on Rn is the same as the "box" topology on Rn
  • Induced topology on a subset of Rn
