Compactness
(1) Let f : X → Y be continuous and X compact. Prove that f (X) is compact. (i.e.
the continuous image of a compact space is compact.)
(2) Let X be compact and A ⊂ X closed. Prove that A is compact.
(3) Classify all compact discrete topological spaces, up to homeomorphism.
(4) Prove the Bolzano-Weierstrass property: An infinite subset of a compact space
must have a limit point. (Hint: Prove instead the contrapositive: any subset of a
compact space which has no limit point is finite.)
