Let be a topological space and be a set. Let be a surjection. The quotient topology on is defined as follows: a subset is open if and only if is open in .
(1) Show that this does indeed define a topology on , and show that is continuous when we endow with this topology.
(2) Let be another topological space and be a map. Show that is continuous if and only if is continuous.
