Metric and Topological Spaces
Part IB, 2016

Let XX be a topological space and AXA \subseteq X be a subset. A limit point of AA is a point xXx \in X such that any open neighbourhood UU of xx intersects AA. Show that AA is closed if and only if it contains all its limit points. Explain what is meant by the interior Int (A)(A) and the closure Aˉ\bar{A} of AA. Show that if AA is connected, then Aˉ\bar{A} is connected.
