... A relation can be a relationship between sets of information. For example, consider the set of all of the people in your Algebra class and the set of their heights is a relation. The pairing of a person and his or her height is a relation. In relations and functions, the pairs of names and height ar ...

... Suppose (X, TX ) and (Y, TY ) are topological spaces. (In other words, X and Y are sets, and TX and TY are subsets of the power sets P(X) and P(Y ), respectively, obeying the axioms for a topological space.) Rather than identifying open sets via their inclusion in the topology—e.g., U ∈ TX —we will ...

... T = {A ⊆ X | X \ A is finite, or A = ∅}. In other words, the closed sets in the cofinite topology are X and the finite subsets of X. Analogously, the cocountable topology on X is defined to be the topology in which the closed sets are X and the countable subsets of X. The cofinite topology on X is t ...

... be an open cover without finite sub covers. Call a set bad if no finite sub collection of covers it. Thus we assumed that itself is bad. Notice another property of bad set: if a finite number of other sets covers a bad set, one of them should be bad. Since there is a finite -net, one can find some b ...
