  • We introduce open sets in the context of the real numbers, along with examples and nonexamples of open sets. This is an important topic in the topology of the reals. We say a subset U of the reals is open if, for any x in U, there exists a delta-neighborhood of x that is contained in U. We'll prove that the real numbers are open, the empty set is open, and more! #realanalysis

    My first introduction to open sets was in my metric spaces course, this video definitely helped simplify the concept for me. Thank you for the great video.

      I'm always trying to make the videos as high quality as possible! So that means 4K face-cam and a high quality mic!!

    u have explanation of closed set?

    Could you make a video for the following question: For part (a), show that f(x)=|x| is not differentiable at x=0. For part (b), show that if f: R->R is differentiable at x0, then f is continuous at x0. Tank you very much!

      Thanks for watching and the request! I can do part a, I would do part b in a separate video, I'll get to it as soon as I can!

      For the first part.
      Function is differentiable at a point if ANY sequence of points getting closer to the point of interest aproaches the same value of the slope.
      So, we play a game. I try to find two sequences of infinitly many points, approaching your point, such that the slopes differ (no matter, how close I get). If I find two such sequences, I win and a function doesn't have a derivative at a point. If I fail (slopes of any pair of sequences approach same value) - the function is differentiable.
      Now. I build two sequences. f(1/n) and f(-1/n). Clearly, the first sequence yields a derivative of 1, the second: of -1.
      I win and the function has no derivative.
      At the same time, here "the derivative from left (or from right)" exist. - 1 for the former and +1 for the latter.
      There are nastie functions like y=sin(1/x) with no left or right derivatives.
      Even worse. There are functions (like Weierstrass function) that are continuous everywhere, differentiable nowhere. But to understand this function you need "series theory". This is the second year of the university math. Or a series (pun intended) of lectures on youtube.
      Tl;dr: from definition of a derivative.

    I have a question: to say that the set X = [0, 1] it's not open, we have to say that X is a subset of another set, such as R for exemple? Because, if we think that [0, 1] is the entire space ("universe" space) when we make a open ball in point {1} for exemple there's no other space such that a point not belongs to [0, 1], in this case, a open ball will contain points that only belongs to X.
    Is this correct or there's some error in this argument?

    Formaly. Here we limit ourselves to open sets. A number of theorems don't apply to closed sets like [0,1] or semi-open sets like [0, 1). Open sets must have some nice properties. Nice enough, that we study them separately. After all, we don't prove theorems for sets (3,5] (those are not general enough).
    Tl;dr "What motivates mathematicians to impose such an strange requirement on sets? After all, we just exclude two points (points {0} and {1} from a continuum set of points)?"
