Section 15. The Product Topology on X × Y
... Note. As usual, we need to confirm that Munkres’ definition is meaningful and so we must verify that B is a basis or a topology. Since X is pen and Y is open, then X × Y ∈ B is open and part (1) of the definition of “basis” is satisfied. For part (2) of the definition, let B1 = U1 × V1 and B2 = U2 × ...

Some Basic Topological Concepts
... Caution: It is important to note that the concept of topological equivalence through homeomorphism is an intrinsic one. It does not make any reference to the Euclidean space Rn of which X and Y are subsets. In other words, two topologically equivalent spaces are equivalent when viewed from within. ...

General topology
In mathematics, general topology is the branch of topology that deals with the basic set-theoretic definitions and constructions used in topology. It is the foundation of most other branches of topology, including differential topology, geometric topology, and algebraic topology. Another name for general topology is point-set topology.The fundamental concepts in point-set topology are continuity, compactness, and connectedness: Continuous functions, intuitively, take nearby points to nearby points. Compact sets are those that can be covered by finitely many sets of arbitrarily small size. Connected sets are sets that cannot be divided into two pieces that are far apart. The words 'nearby', 'arbitrarily small', and 'far apart' can all be made precise by using open sets, as described below. If we change the definition of 'open set', we change what continuous functions, compact sets, and connected sets are. Each choice of definition for 'open set' is called a topology. A set with a topology is called a topological space.Metric spaces are an important class of topological spaces where distances can be assigned a number called a metric. Having a metric simplifies many proofs, and many of the most common topological spaces are metric spaces.
