Calculus Level 3

Definition: A set U X U \subseteq X is open when every point x X x \in X is an interior point of X X , i.e, for all x U x \in U , there is an ε > 0 \varepsilon > 0 such that the entire collection of all elements y X y \in X contained within an ε \varepsilon radius of x x are still in U U .
